VATICAN CITY -- Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio,
76, the leader of a large urban archdiocese in Latin America, was elected the
266th pope and took the name Francis.

He is the first pope in history to come from the Western
Hemisphere and the first non-European to be elected in almost 1,300 ( 1300 years).
The Jesuit was
also the first member of his order to be elected pope, and the first member of
any religious order to be elected in nearly two centuries.
The election 13/3 March 2013 came on the second day of
the conclave, on the conclave's fifth ballot. It was a surprisingly quick
conclusion to a conclave that began with many plausible candidates and no clear
favorite.
The new pope was chosen by at least two-thirds of the 115
cardinals from 48 countries, who cast their ballots in secret in the Sistine
Chapel.
His election was announced in Latin from the balcony of St.
Peter's Basilica, to a massive crowd under the rain in the square below and
millions watching around the world.
White smoke poured from the Sistine Chapel chimney at 7:05
p.m., signaling that the cardinals had chosen a successor to retired Pope
Benedict XVI. Two minutes later, the bells of St. Peter's Basilica began
pealing continuously to confirm the election.
At 8:12, French Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, the senior
cardinal in the order of deacons, appeared at the basilica balcony and read out
in Latin: "I announce to you a great joy: We have a pope! The most eminent
and most reverend lord, Lord Jorge Mario, Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church,
Bergoglio, who has taken for himself the name Francis."
The crowd in the square responded with cheers, applause and
the waving of rain-soaked national flags.
Ten minutes the later the new pope appeared. He sought
prayers for Pope Benedict and spoke of the journey the church was about to
begin.
"Now I would like to give my blessing. But first, I
will ask a favor. Before the bishop blesses his people, he asks that you pray
to the Lord to bless me, the prayer of the people for the blessing of their
bishop. Let's pray for me in silence," he said.
Pope Francis:

FINAL POPE.

Pope Francis: Redefining his office, standing first among equals
“You know the work of the conclave is to give a bishop to Rome,” said Francis I, the freshly elected pontiff with a little laugh, as he stood on the balcony in front of the faithful.
In just two days, Pope Francis seems to
have stripped his office of the monarchical status nurtured by many of
his predecessors.
ROME—A slogan for the
first 48 hours of Pope Francis’s reign could read something like this: Long live the Bishop of Rome.
In just two days, Pope
Francis seems to have redefined his office, stripping it of the
monarchical status nurtured by many of his predecessors.
From his election
Wednesday evening, when he introduced himself to thousands in St.
Peter’s Square as the Bishop of Rome, he has characterized himself as no
more than the first among equals.
“He’s conducting a
very important rebalancing of a culture that was verging on a
personality cult,” Alberto Melloni, a professor of Catholic Church
history, said in an interview.
The shift was
kick-started by Benedict XVI, who shocked the Catholic world in February
by becoming the first pope in 600 years to resign. The move immediately
weakened the power of the office: if a pope can resign, maybe he can be
pushed out, too. The radical step reminded everyone that a pope is a
man and not “some demigod,” said Melloni, a leading church analyst with
the University of Modena.
Cardinal John
Onaiyekan, Archbishop of Abuja, Nigeria, suggests that too much is being
made of the apparent shift. He notes that in Catholic doctrine, the way
someone becomes pope is precisely by being Bishop of Rome.
“He may do away with a
lot of the trappings (of the office) that are not really necessary,” he
said in an interview. “But I know very well that he knows what a pope
is and he will not do anything that will in any way reduce the figure of
the pope.
“We should be getting used to a pope who is very free with the people,” he said. “That is refreshing for me, but there are other people who think the pope should be way up there and clearly separate from the rest of the world. It will be up to him.”
