It really is March 13, 2013. White smoke cigars is seen appearing out of the chimney of the Sistine Chapel where in fact the University of Cardinals have obtained to pray and vote on the election of a successor to Pope Benedict XVI. They had been sequestered for just two times, and five ballots had been used. The press was speculating over who be elected, and even though it was rumored that Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio had been the runner up or the applicant receiving the next most votes in the consultatory that elected Benedict (then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger) in 2005, hardly anyone experienced the Jesuit cardinal on their short list. After all, he was a Jesuit who was simply already 76 years old and from South America. Despite the possibilities, when Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran stepped out onto the balcony at the papal palace and released to the entire world Habemus Papam (We've a Pope!), the man who was simply called to step into the shoes of the fisherman, St. Peter, was the one and only Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the first Jesuit ever before chosen for this honor, the first from the Americas, and the first ever before from the southern hemisphere. Like the imaginary Pope Kiril in the 1963 MGM movie titled The Shoes of the Fisherman, he shunned the red household slippers and the ermine lined mozzetta (cape) of his predecessors, and he also continuing to wear the simple iron mix that he had worn as Cardinal Bergoglio, not one of the jewel-encrusted ones usually worn by the Bishop of Rome. In another first, it was released that he would be known as Francis, following the great Saint Francis of Assisi, a pal to the indegent, to pets or animals, and a enthusiast of nature. Pope Francis: The Traditional Life of the First Pope from the Americas chronicles the amazing life of the leader of the Catholic Church and exactly how he had become pope.
