The Argentine Jorge Mario Bergoglio will Pope Francis


The future of the Church is at the "end of the world". That was how the Argentine Jorge Mario Bergoglio confessed on the balcony of St. Peter with decency and modesty the extraordinary surprise that has caused the appointment as successor to Benedict XVI. Joseph Ratzinger devoted his first words . And called on the faithful who packed St. Peter's Square to share one Our ​​Father in honor of the "Bishop Emeritus", witnessed the proclamation ofFrancis I from the rooms of Castel Gandolfo. Never a pope had been elected in Latin America. Never a pope had been chosen among the Jesuits . But it is true that the veryBergoglio was close to thwart Ratzinger's victory in the 2005 Conclave. Eight years later, the cardinals have not chosen a young priest ( 76 years ), but progressive and committed to evangelism . He referred to it explicitly warm and sensitive Jorge Mario Bergoglio speech. So warm and sensitive than before blessing the faithful asked to bless him . Bowing to the crowd at John XXIII plan with an attitude devoid of pageantry which followed the execution of Spartan chosen nickname: another novelty, since neither has a pope had chosen alias Francisco. It took five ballots . A brief conclave which were reported at 19:07 hours. Even then, the faithful had crowded the Plaza de San Pedro, regardless of rain or the winter cold with which marred the event. But it stopped raining. He did when the Protodeacon appeared on the balcony red curtain to announce to the world the 'Habemus Papam' . has been a surprise . Not about the intentions of the cardinals, but speculation regarding the Italian press had raised the ceremonial as a duel-Scherer Scola. Bergoglio may be a synthesis of both. Almost as Scola Italian by origin and culture. And in Latin America, as Scherer, though with a vision of the Church emergencies adjoining progressivism.
