On March 19, 2013, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina became Pope Francis, the 266th Pope of the Catholic Church. His election to the papacy was notable in many ways. He became the first pope from the Americas, the first pope from the Southern Hemisphere, the first non-European pope in more than 1,200 years, the first Jesuit pope, and the first pope to choose the name Francis. Pope Francis was not the person that most people expected to ascend to the papacy when Pope Benedict XVI resigned from the role in late February 2013. While serving as the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Cardinal Bergoglio was known for his dedication to helping the poor and admired for his modest lifestyle. After his inauguration, Pope Francis retained many of his humble ways. People around the globe eagerly watch to see what changes he might bring about in the Catholic Church. Follow Pope Franciss journey to the papacy, from his days as a young chemist to his studies of theology. Learn more about his beliefs and hobbiesincluding his interests in soccer and tango dancing. Find out the true story behind the man who became the 266th pope.

I t was the night of March 13 2013 Darkness had fallen over Saint Peters - photo 8
I t was the night of March 13, 2013. Darkness had
fallen over Saint Peters Square, a large plaza that
sits in front of Saint Peters Basilica in Vatican City.
Vatican City is an independent city-state within the city of
Rome, Italy. Vatican City is home to the Catholic Church,
the worlds largest Christian church.

In the square, more than one hundred thousand people
huddled together under umbrellas against the cold and
steadily falling rain. Many of them had been waiting
there all day. They did not seem to mind the cold or the
darkness. They were focused on one pointthe chimney
of the Sistine Chapel. The Sistine Chapel is home to the
Catholic Churchs leader, the pope.

At 7:05 P.M. local time, puffs of white smoke plumed
from the chimney. The smoke was just what the crowd
had been waiting to see. It wasnt just any smokeit was
a signal. White smoke is the age-old way that the Catholic
Church communicates its election of a new pope. The smoke
comes from burning the ballots used to elect the pope.

The crowd erupted. They cheered. They waved flags
from different countriesBrazil, Italy, the United States,
and others. Amid all the excitement, one question was on
everybodys mind: just who was the new pope whod been
elected that night? The crowd would have to wait and see.
