The College of Cardinals elected today, on its fifth ballot, the 266th pope and Bishop of Rome: His Holiness Francis, former cardinal archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, a member of the Society of Jesus.

The cardinal proto-deacon of the Catholic Church, Jean Louis-Taran, announced the news to those gathered in St. Peter’s Square, with the traditional words: 

Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum: Habemus Papam.

Eminentissimum ac reverendissimum Dominum, Dominum Georgium Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalem Bergoglium.

Qui sibi nomen imposuit Franciscum.

Who has taken for himself the name Francis.
