Who is Pope Francis I?

“Habemus Papum” — “We have a pope!”    Francis I

Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio is the first Pope to be:

• known as Francis.
• none European in more than a millennium.
• from America.
• A Jesuit.

When Pope Francis I appeared on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica for the first time he said: “The purpose of the conclave was to appoint the bishop of Rome. But it seems my brothers the cardinals went all the way to the end of the world. I thank you for your welcome.”

The first message of Pope Francis I on twitter is: “Inmensamente feliz de ser el nuevo Papa, Fransico I” — or “Immensely happy to be your new pope, Francis I”.
