Abstract
In this first century after the Second Vatican Council, Catholics have experienced three great moments: the death of Pope John Paul II, the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and the election of Pope Francis on February 28, 2013. That election brought a new breath to the Church, but it will also bring a newness to the thought patterns in the Catholic theological world. This is also true of the Church in Africa. My study will show that Pope Francis’ official communications reshape the mindset of some thinkers to rethink theology or to bring some new concepts and it will also bring a new perception of this Pope to Africans. A Pope coming from a “periphery” in favour of a good inculturation in Africa. A Model for the African Theologian?
