Pope Francis is marking the first full day since he was elected by cardinals with a visit to his predecessor Benedict XVI. Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, the 76-year-old Archbishop of Buenos Aires, was the surprise choice as the new Pope, becoming the first pontiff from Latin America and the first from outside Europe for more than a thousand years. White smoke emerged from the Sistine Chapel last night as he gained the required two-thirds majority from the papal conclave in the fifth ballot, later emerging on the balcony overlooking St Peter’s Square as ‘habemus papam’ was declared and he became the first Pope to assume the name Francis. UK prime minister David Cameron said the election of Pope Francis was a ‘momentous day’, while Barack Obama offered ‘warm wishes’ after a selection that he said spoke to the strength of the Americas. ‘As a champion of the poor and the most vulnerable among us, he carries forth the message of love and compassion that has inspired the world for more than two thousand years that in each other we see the face of God,’ the US president said. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Archbishop Justin Welby, added: ‘I look forward to meeting Pope Francis, and to walking and working together to build on the consistent legacy of our predecessors.’ Pope Francis greeted crowds in the Vatican with the words ‘buona sera’ – good evening – before saying the world should ‘set off on a path of love and fraternity’. ‘I would like to thank you for your welcome, the community of Rome, its brotherhood, I thank you,’ the leader of the world’s 1.2billion Catholics continued. Pope Francis, who asked for the crowd’s blessing before he blessed them, added: ‘Above all, I would like to pray for Pope Benedict XVI.’ Benedict XVI, who when he assumed the papacy in 2005 is rumoured to have pushed Cardinal Bergoglio into second place, shocked the world when he announced last month he was resigning due to his advanced age, becoming the first Pope in 600 years to do so. Pope Francis is due to visit the Pope Emeritus at his Castel Gandolfo retreat today, in a move aimed at easing concerns over the possible tensions between a Pope and his living predecessor.

Pápa Nua Tofa Tá Jorge Bergoglio i ndiaidh bheith tofa mar Phápa. Seo an chéad duine riamh as na tíortha Meiriceanacha a toghadh mar phápa, agus an chéad Phápa as taobh amuigh den Eoraip le breis agus míle bliain. Roghnaigh sé an t-ainm An Pápa Proinsias D’fhógair duine de na Cairdinéil “Habemus Papum” “tá Pápa againn” ón bhalcóin sa Bhaisleac Pheadair agus d’fhógair sé ainm an phápa nua sa Laidin. De réir dealraimh, tháinig an tArdeaspag Bergoglio sa dara háit i 2005 nuair a toghadh Benedict XVI mar Phápa. B’é an Pápa Benedict an chéad Phápa a d’éirigh as Suí Pheadair sa Róimh le breis agus 600 bliain. Tá an Pápa Proinsias 76 bliain d’aois agus chaith sé formhór a shaoil sa bhaile i mBuenos Aires san Airgintín. B’iad na chéad fhocail a dúirt sé mar Phápa ná go ndeachaigh a chomhchairdinéil chuig ‘deireadh an domhain’ le Pápa nua a aimsiú. Bheannaigh sé an slua mór a bhí bailithe taobh amuigh i gCearnóg Naomh Peadair agus d’iarr sé ar ‘gach fear agu s bean den dea-thoil’ guí ar a shon agus cuidiú leis bheith mar cheannaire ar an Eaglais Chaitliceach. Is é Proinsias an 266ú pápa i stair na hEaglaise a théann siar 2000 bliain. Is é an chéad Íosánach a toghadh riamh mar Phápa.
