This Lutheran has always had a soft spot for Francis Xavier, who brought the gospel to China and Japan, and was even foolish enough to think that the present Pope chose his name because of the zeal for the gospel found in Xavier. Jesuits have become anathema, and I don’t say that because of Catholic-lutheran issues but because of Jesuit heresy.

Bergolio took his papal name after St. Francis of Assisi, not St Francis Xavier.
