An African Perspective on the Next Pope

Just a few hours before the election of Jorge Mario Cardinal Bergoglio, who takes the name Pope Francis, this article offering an African Perspective on the Next Pope, was published in the 'Millenial'.

'Millenial' is a project of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good – an online journal and blog that provides world-class Catholic opinion and analysis on the most pressing issues of our times in politics, religion, and culture.  It aims to move beyond partisan and ideological divisions, bringing together all those who support the global common good and the worth and dignity of the human person.

It will be interesting to see how this perspective matches up!

Habemus Papam!

Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum; habemus Papam:

Eminentissimum ac Reverendissimum Dominum, Dominum Georgium Marium.

Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalem Bergoglio

qui sibi nomen imposuit Franciscum
