The world has a new Pope, as you know, no doubt know by now 1.2 billion catholic have a new leader and in many ways he is unlike any the church has ever had. The man, who just short time ago stepped onto that balcony of Saint Peter's Basilica, now begins day one of his papacy. He is a true pioneer in many ways, the first Latin American Pope, the first non-European Pope in modern times; first take the name Francis after SaintFrancis of Assisi.And though it was true that every paper conclave become a part of history. This one made history and pretty quickly as well.

Extraordinary scene in the square, the five runs of voting a decision and as white smoke rose the crowd in Saint Peter's Square erupted. They joy, this time not tempered by mourning as it was eight years ago, because for the first time in 598 years, a previous Pope is alive and well, retired, not deceased. As word got out the crowd grew larger people literally running to the square, Romans and visitors, even people making airline connections racing to the square, more than 150,000 in all. Official say all eyes on that small balcony waiting, watching, wondering who would emerge a favorite Cardinal Scola of Milan perhaps, an American O'Malley of Boston, the first Canadian Pope, the first modern African, who would he be? The questions were answered as they've always been by the cardinal taking the first step and uttering the traditional words. We announced to you a great joy,habemus papam, we have a Pope. But that Pope, Jorge Bergoglio, seemingly came out of no where a surprise to many cardinal of Buenos Aires, a non-traditional cardinal who lived humbly. Cooking his own meals taking public transit, where he speaks to people face to face. The humility extending to his first remarks after leaving the crowd in our Father and a hail marry. He asked them to pray for him an unprecedented move. 

I would like to offer you my blessing, butI'd like to ask a favor first. First before the bishop blesses the people, I would like to pray for the Lord, so that the prayer of the people blesses also the new pontiff.

Shortly after his election, Francis called his predecessor, another first then he dined with his former fellow cardinals,including New York's Timothy Dolan.

He's already won our heart, he obviously won our hearts, because he is the new Pope but he just, we just had a very beautiful fraternal meal at the Dome Santa Marta, where we've been staying. And he told us, he said when we toasted him the cardinal secretary of state,toasted him and then he toasted us and he simply said may god forgive you.
