The word obstinacy has appeared in 16 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on Feb. 22 in “Headstrong Francis Put the Church Above His Health, Vatican Observers Say” by Elisabetta Povoledo. The article quotes Austen Ivereigh, a commentator and papal biographer who has insight about Pope Francis’ work ethic:

Mr. Ivereigh said that Francis had admitted that one of his “big faults” was obstinacy. “He’s very strong willed and doesn’t readily listen to suggestions that he cut things back,” he said.
