ROME — The world has a new pope. And this pope, Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina, now simply Francis, has to confront a new world.
"Brothers and sisters, buona sera," Francis said Wednesday, addressing the delirious rain-soaked crowd in St. Peter's Square with a noticeably personal and inclusive style. "Let's start this journey of brotherhood, love and trust."
That journey won't be easy. In the eight years since a similar papal conclave elected the recently resigned Pope Benedict XVI, the Catholic Church has faced vexing problems, from banking coverup charges to damaging internal leaks.
