Pope Francis (C) caresses a guide dog during a private audience to members of the media on March 16, 2013 at the Paul VI hall at the Vatican. Pope Francis called for “a poor Church for the poor”, saying he chose his papal name because St Francis of Assisi was “a man of poverty and a man of peace”. AFP PHOTO / ALBERTO PIZZOLI
