Francis Johnson

Francis William Johnson III (born September 11, 1971), known by his Papal name John XIV is the current head of the Church of the New Basilica, a schismatic Catholic church sect based in Spurgeon Tennessee that claims over 5,000 followers worldwide. The most notable adherent to the sect is Hollywood Star Jim Bruise, who converted from Scientology and who is a close friend of Johnson.
John XIV is a distant member of The Johnson Family.
== Early Life ==
Born the son of Francis Johnson II, a rich lobbyist, Francis III found himself interested in books early in his life. Johnson claims that his favorite one was and still is the Bible. Due to his fascination with said holy text he "quickly developed his love for Christ" and attempted to gain entry into the Roman Catholic Church as a priest. 
Sadly, due to circumstances Johnson holds were related to his appearance, he was turned down. This deeply saddened him, though such a setback did not force him to give up on his life goal of "pleasing Jesus". In fact, Johnson has said in interviews that this made him please the Lord's son "even more often every day".

Shortly after his father passed away in 2013 and Pope Benedict XVI abdicated, he called a conclave in his new quarters in Tennessee which consisted of a farm and a big church built on a piece of his father's land a few years before. 
A witness to the event claims that overall, six people showed up and elected Francis as the new Pope. He took the name John XIV, mainly to "honor his family name". He spent the remaining money to buy himself an expensive papal-like tiara and robes. 
Johnson's sect rose to prominence in 2015 when he successfully converted A-List actor Jim Bruise from Scientology. Since then the Hollywood star has donated substantial amounts of money on a "monthly basis", which has allowed the Pope to buy himself a new car for his pilgrimages and expand his compound. John XIV's sect has approximately 5,000 purported followers world-wide in 14 countries, 150 of whom he allowed to live on his property.
