There was not a "dry eye in the house"
at the Sistine Chapel the moment when
former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio
was elected as the next pope, with the
115 cardinals meeting for the conclave
then bursting into applause, according
to Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New
York.
"[It is] a remarkably emotional
experience, even though we weren't
surprised, because we could see it
coming as the votes was tallied, and
we see the direction that the Holy Spirit
was leading us," Dolan told "Good
Morning America" today. "But, still, the
moment he got to the number needed,
77, was wonderfully inspirational. I
don't think there was a dry eye in the
house."
Bergoglio, 76, the cardinal from
Buenos Aires, Argentina, from now on
to be known as Pope Francis, is the
first pope ever from the Americas and
the first Jesuit pope.
Dolan described how the nature and
identify of Jorge Bergoglio was
changed and formed into Pope Francis
Wednesday.
"He was a man who just a couple of
hours before we were pouring coffee
with and walking through the halls of
St. Martha and chatting with," he said.
"Now, all of a sudden, he's our holy
father, and we're pledging him our
love, and our allegiance, and our loyalty
and our prayer."
Pope Francis was described as
"serene" at the time of his election.
"As it became clear to all of us that he
was probably going to be the man, we
watched him closely, and he was
remarkably at peace," Dolan said. "He
did not seem to be rattled, and did not
seem to agonize over things. He was
just a man of resignation."
Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington
told "Good Morning America" today
that although Pope Francis now has an
enormous responsibility, he expects to
see a great simplicity of style in the
new pontiff.
"I think we got a little taste of that
when he stepped out onto the
[balcony]," Wuerl said. "While vested
in white, he didn't seem to lose that
characteristic simplicity, charm,
quietness. I don't think we're going to
see a lot of personality change in him."
Wuerl said that when Pope Francis
stepped in from the balcony after
greeting the public, he walked into the
dining room where the cardinals were
to have supper, entering the room the
same way he had every other time in
this conclave, by greeting his brothers
and simply taking his seat.
On his first full day as the leader of the
worldwide Catholic Church, Pope
Francis was rumored to plan to do
something no other pope has had the
option of doing for centuries: meet
with a predecessor, Pope Emeritus
Benedict XVI. The Vatican said early
today that Pope Francis won't be
calling on his predecessor, but would
see him another day.
After Bergoglio was chosen by his
peers Wednesday, Dolan told reporters
Francis expressed a desire to meet with
Benedict today.
"Very touchingly," Dolan said
Wednesday, "he said tomorrow -- we
knew we were going to have Mass
with him in the Sistine Chapel -- he
said, 'Is it OK if we have Mass in the
afternoon together because in the
morning I want to visit former Pope
Benedict?' which is very beautiful."
Benedict has retired to Castel
Gondolfo, approximately 30 miles
away from the Vatican.
Pope Francis opened his first morning
as pontiff by praying at Rome's main
basilica dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
The coming days will be busy ones for
Pope Francis.
Francis will celebrate a Mass today at
the altar in front of Michelangelo's
"Last Judgment" in the Sistine Chapel,
as dictated by tradition, and he will
pray at Rome's St. Mary Major basilica.
He will hold an audience Friday with
the cardinals in the Sala Clementina in
the Apostolic Palace.
On Saturday, it will be time to meet the
media: a morning session with
journalists in the Paul VI Audience hall.
Finally, on Sunday, the pope will recite
the Angelus from the window of his
papal apartment.
The main event, though, will come
Tuesday morning with the new
pontiff's installation Mass. The
ceremony will take place on the church
feast day of St. Joseph, a holiday for
many in Rome, and Father's Day in
Italy. Vice President Joe Biden will lead
the delegation from the United States.
With papal appointments also a
possibility in the coming days, it will be
a busy period for the church's 266th
pontiff. After already making history
with his election, the job of leading the
world's 1.2 billion Catholics now
begins in earnest.
When Bergoglio appeared on a balcony
overlooking a packed St. Peter's
Square Wednesday night, the crowd of
about 150,000 who had gathered on
the cold, wet night erupted in applause,
waving flags, singing songs and
cheering the new leader of the Roman
Catholic Church.
The enthusiastic, emotional reaction to
the newly elected Pope Francis, who
wore a simple wooden cross, stood in
contrast to the low-key remarks he
gave soon after.
As the first Latin American to lead the
church, the first Jesuit and the first
non-European in centuries, his election
as pontiff is a historic one, one that left
some of the devoted in the square
overcome with excitement and simple
disbelief.
"I started crying. I couldn't stop it,"
Santiago Gonzalez Cutre of Argentina
said.
Another Argentine in Vatican City for
the occasion, Victor Nunez de la Rosa,
said he still could not believe his
countryman had become the next pope.
Rafael Castro of Honduras hailed
Bergoglio's election as "amazing" and
"incredible."
From Vatican City to Buenos Aires and
elsewhere across the globe, reaction to
the new pope was positive.

| How Collier Solved the Puzzle |
| I noted the flags were Spain, Malta, Argentina, Philippines, and prob. Italy, so it is probably in Europe. I noted the obelisk and colonnades in the background, and they reminded me of St.Peter's Square in the Vatican. Then I remembered a recent event there, and google-images provides a number of similar images (e.g. cmsimg.freep.com/apps/). Collier Smith |

Benedict XVI, on 13 March 2013 the papal conclave elected Bergoglio, who chose the
papal name Francis in honour of Saint Francis of Assisi. Francis is the first Jesuit pope;
the first pope from the Americas, and the Southern Hemisphere, he may increase
attention given to Southern Hemisphere concerns since the majority of Catholics are
now there.
Throughout his life, both as an individual and a religious leader, he has been known for
his humility, his concern for the poor, and his commitment to dialogue as a way to
build bridges between people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and faiths. Since his election
to the papacy, he has displayed a simpler and less formal approach to the office,
choosing to reside in the Vatican guesthouse rather than the papal residence.
