On 3/13/13 then Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio was chosen as the leader of the Catholic Church.

 After the resignation of Pope Benedict the 16th  we have chosen a new Pope!  Six hundred years ago was the last time a Pope resigned. 

After a day and a half of of discussion, finally Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected.  He has chosen the papal name Pope Franci after Saint Francis of Assis who was known to root for the poor.  He is also the first Jesuit priest

Some facts to know:

-- He opposes gay marriage and abortion
-- He's from Argentina
-- He's 76 years old
-- He's the first Latin-American pope ... and the first from the Americas
-- He's known for his advocacy on behalf of the poor, primarily in his home country                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
-- He's the son of Italian immigrants and he's the first non -European pope in over 1,000 years, and the first EVER from the Americas.
