An Argentine, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, has emerged as the new Pope.
Bergoglio, 76, succeeds Benedict XVI, who resigned in February due to old age.
Bergoglio is the first Latin American to become a pope.
He is to adopt the title Francis 1.
He belongs to the order of the Jesuit.
The Jesuit are believed to be more liberal Catholics.
Many had anticipated the emergence of a pope who will be less than 75 years old.
