Pope Francis Was Once A Nightclub Bouncer

The Pope has revealed he once worked as a nightclub
bouncer in his native Argentina.
The 77-year-old spoke about his life working the
doors at a venue in Buenos Aires during a visit to a
church in a working class suburb of Rome.
The pontiff also talked about his experiences
sweeping floors and working in a laboratory as a
teenager, according to Vatican newspaper
L'Osservatore Romano.
Pope Francis spent four hours chatting to followers at
the church of San Cirillo Alessandrino after
celebrating Mass on Sunday.
He did not go into details about his career as a
bouncer or what experiences it had brought to his
current job as head of the Roman Catholic Church.

Instead, he talked about how his work later in life,
teaching literature and psychology, "taught him how
to get people back into the church", the paper
reported.
Francis said he discovered his vocation to the clergy
after confession with a priest he had never met
before.
He was asked how he spent his day, and said: "I pray,
then I celebrate Mass and then I start work.". He said
this includes reading letters and reports as well as
meeting bishops, priests and laypeople.
He said he eats lunch between noon and 1pm, rests
for 30 minutes and then works until the evening.
In answer to another question, he admitted feeling
stage-fright as Pope while celebrating his first Mass.
"Was I anxious? A little, yes, but everyone was nice.
But it's true, having a lot of people in front of you is a
bit scary," the paper quoted him as saying.
