WE HAVE A POPE!
Jorge Mario Bergoglio, from Argentina, was elected to be the new leader of the Roman
Catholic Church on Wednesday, March 13, 2013. He was the archbishop of Buenos Aires and
now as the new Pope he took the name of Francis.
An interesting fact is that Bergoglio is the first head of the Catholic Church ever to come
from the Americas and the first from outside Europe in more than a millennium.
The choice of a 76-year-old cardinal to be the new pope was a surprise considering that it
had been assumed that the cardinals would select someone younger. However, they chose a
man who is more than qualified for the job, experts account.
The new head of the Catholic Church was born in 1936 and has four siblings, all children of
Italian immigrants. In 1958 when he was only 22 he started preparing for priesthood. Now,
just over 50 years later he will lead the church that once he joined as a young man.
Francis, the son of middle-class Italian immigrants, is known as a humble man who denied
himself luxuries. He is said to cook his own meals and take public transportation, which
clearly contributed to his reputation for humility. In taking the name Francis, he drew
connections to the 13th century St. Francis of Assisi, who saw his calling as trying to rebuild
the church in a time of turmoil. It also evokes images of Francis Xavier, one of the 16th
century founders of the Jesuit order that is known for its scholarship and outreach.
The remarkably fast conclave brought the first Jesuit to the papacy, electing Pope Francis as
the 266th pontiff that will lead the worlds 1.2 billion Catholics.
