Jorge Maria Bergoglio - Pope Francis I - is the first truly global pontiff. It is not just that the Argentinian was picked up almost at the ends of the world', as he put it in his first public appearance as pope. The dynamics of the conclave on 12-13 March 2013 showed that, for the Vatican, it was the end of an era. The Americas have moved from the periphery to the very heart of the Catholic world. Eurocentrism is no more. The creation of a council of eight cardinals taken from all five continents as global advisers that Francis announced on 14 April confirms his intention to fundamentally reshape the government of the Church. His choice of name - from St Francis of Assisi - also symbolises a focus on the poor of the world's mega-urban slums. This focus stems from the new pope's day-to-day experience as archbishop of Buenos Aires and reflects a global trend.
