CARDINALS
PICK
1 NEW POPE
Just over an hour after white smoke appeared at the Sistine Chapel
on Wednesday, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio addressed the world
from St. Peter’s Basilica as the new pope. “It seems to me that my
brother cardinals have chosen one who is from far away, but here I
am,” he said. Bergoglio, 76, is the first Latin American pope to lead the
Roman Catholic Church and will take the name Pope Francis. A group of
115 cardinals selected him after two days and five rounds of voting.
