VANITY Fair in Italy on Wednesday named Pope Francis its "man of the year," saying the pontiff's first 100 days at the Vatican had already made him one of the world's top leaders.
Splashing on its front page a picture of the 76-year-old in his simple white robes, the magazine said his words and actions were "heavier than boulders."
"The first 100 days of his pontificate have already propelled him to the top of the list of world leaders who are making history," said Vanity Fair Italy, adding: "The revolution continues."
British pop star Elton John was quoted by the magazine as calling the new Argentinean pope "a miracle of humility in an age of vanity."
