Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires was selected Wednesday, becoming the 266th Pope. Since Pope Benedict XVI announced he was to resign on February 28th (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/11/pope-benedict-xvi-to-resi_n_2660670.html) the world has awaited news of a new pope, with a keen eye on where he might be from. We now have the answer.
This is the first time the world has had a Latino Pope and the reaction from the community was immediate. Some are happy and feel represented, others -- not so much. Check out how Hispanics from around the globe feel about the newly appointed leader of the Catholic Church in the slideshow above.
