On March 13, 2013 our new pope, Jorge Mario Bergoglio now known as Pope Francis, was elected. Thousands of people awaited anxiously outside the Vatican in hopes of spotting the new Catholic pope. Jorge Mario Bergoglio was a Cardinal of Argentina before elected to be pope. He has many views on society and religion and is ready to make a change in the world.
This impacted the community because Catholics all around the world look up to the pope as a role model. He impacts so many lives and determines what many people believe in. Determining things that are right and wrong in the church's eyes.
My reaction to this was that I was in shock because out of all the people in the running for pope that he was chosen. The press was saying that the Church needed a younger pope with new ideas to change the church in better ways but in the end an older pope was chosen. Jorge Mario Bergoglio is seventy six and will still be a great pope.
