Last week Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope Francis I. Today, in a crowded St. Peter's Square, he celebrated his first mass focusing on the themes of respect, kindness and tenderness. And the faithful around him were enthusiastic.
Succeeding Joseph Ratzinger, Bergoglio becomes the 266th Pope of the Catholic Church. Archbishop of Buenos Aires since 1998, he belongs to the order of the 'Society of Jesus' and he is the first Church leader ever chosen from South America.
