Using data drawn from surveys of Latin American elites and citizens, this article aims to analyse the determinants of evaluations of Pope Francis, with a special focus on ideology and religious denomination, religiosity, and trustworthiness of the Catholic Church. Results show that the Pope remains linked to opinions on the Church, but not to religiosity, and that differences in personal religious affiliations (or lack thereof) among respondents are sharper among citizens than among elites. Furthermore, Pope Francis is found to be not closely associated to the left–right axis in Latin America, except in the case of Argentine MPs, where the right‐leaning members express lower opinions of the Pope.

没有一个先知在自己的土地上吗？弗朗西斯教皇在拉丁美洲的评价

本文使用从拉丁美洲精英和公民的调查中获得的数据，旨在分析教皇方济各的评估的决定因素，并特别关注天主教的意识形态和宗教派别，宗教信仰和可信度。结果表明，教皇仍然与教会的看法有联系，但与宗教信仰没有联系，并且受访者之间的个人宗教信仰差异（或缺乏宗教信仰）在公民中比在精英中更为明显。此外，发现弗朗西斯教皇与拉丁美洲的左右轴关系不密切，除了阿根廷国会议员，右倾议员对教皇的看法较低。
