Francis I

Ahhh! The pope is Jorge Mario Bergoglio! AKA Francis I! He was the cardinal for beunos aires he is the first Jesuit pope of all time! He said "the other cardinals went to the end of the world to choose a bishop" he then thanks the crowd for their welcome and proceeds to pray for Benedict XVI and then recites the lords prayer "and now let's start working together, walking together in the church of Rome, which presides over all the churches. Let us pray for each other and the entire world. There is great brotherhood in the world." He'd like to bless the crowd, but first hed like to ask a favour; he'd like to ask them to pray to god so god can bless him. They all pray together in silence. The pope says he is going to bless the crowd and the entire world: all the men and women of goodwill. He blesses them in the name of the apostle and the saints. "May god have mercy on them. The father, the son, and the holy spirit descend on you and remain with you always - amen. Brothers and sisters, I leave you. Thank you so much for your welcome. I'll see you soon. Good evening and have a good rest." With that he leaves the balcony. The bells of St peters Basilica are ringing out as the cardinals gather at the other balconies.
