The election of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio surprised many observers when it was revealed on Wednesday.
Although, during the 2005 conclave, he reportedly came second to Pope Benedict XVI, who withdrew from the post earlier, few had predicted the election of the first pope from outside Europe in 1 300 years.
