>>> looking at live pictures from buenos aires, the cathedral there.he first argentine to become the pope, now pope francis. we're continuing to follow this historic news. cardinal jorge bergoglio. the first south american pope, first non-european in modern times. he will visit with pope benedict xvi on thursday morning, according to cardinal timothy dolan from new york. >> 597 years ago, that they've been able to do that, the pre deceaser meeting with the current. that should be an amazing meeting. the new pope, francis, is the culmination of an ancient and spectacular process that had the eyes of the world glued on the vatican. for two days, from across rome and the world, the faithful came to st. peter's square. they came in the dark, and the rain, and the cold. and they came for this. at 7:06 p.m. in vatican city on the fifth ballot, smoke, bells and a new pope. but the question for little more than an hour, who would the new pope be, and what would he mean for the church. >> i've been a catholic from the moment i was born. you know, there's someth

>> cardinal bergoglio from argentina, from buenos aires. he was rumored to be a favorite in the last election in 2005. most people had thought that, at 76, perhaps he is a little bit old for the robe. he is a man who is deeply respected for his deep, deep spirituality. he is a person who has made extraordinary -- an extraordinary stand in latin america and argentina for the poor. and he is a person who is greatly loved. not a manager sort of person. i was saying earlier that the cardinals would probably want somebody who is a strong manager. this is a man who will be a pope who will be a spirit chill ideal, perhaps even, for many people. this is a man who, when he became a bishop, he moved into a little flat rather than into the bishop's palace. he cooked his own meals. he traveled by bus rather than going by car. when he was appointed cardinal, he told the people of buenos aires, don't waste your money going to rome to see me be made a cardinal. give it to the poor. >> about 50% of the world's catholics live in latin america. >> it will be

not only in buenos aires but throughout argentina and latin america. this would indicate i think he's going to try and shift the church into a more obviously compassionate ministry to the poor at the same time that he is -- as jon said he's going to be conservative doctrinally but he'll be compassionately lib federal the way which he deals with the poor. >> bruni: let's be clear about he's going to be conservative in terms of doctrine what we mean. what won't change father modrys? >> the celibacy of the clergy. >> anything. (laughter) women's ordination. the official position of the church on birth control. attitudes towards gay marriage. >> bruni: all off the table? >> i think continuity and consistency is going to be very apparent here. the important thing is tone, what will the pope use on all of these issues? one of the failures we've been guilty of is we should lead with a lot of compassion and sometimes the catholic church and the way catholic teaching is presented can appear to people to be very stern. >> bruni: harsh. >> harsh. and i think with

>> miguel almaguer, thank you so much from buenos aires.om the vatican, msnbc's chris jansing. nbc's ann thompson and nbc news vatican analyst, george weigel. ann thompson, we're talking about a very different different pope from anything we've ever experienced before. what is the significance of them choosing a latin american. despite the fact that he is 76 years old or perhaps because he is 76 years old and satisfied the old guard as well as the aspirations of the diaspora. >> i was talking to cardinal timothy dolan, the archbishop of new york. i said why did you choose former bish bishop bergoglio to be the pope? they believe this man, given his track record in buenos aires can do this. he is an honest man, an outsider and that was also very important to them. can he come in here, he understands it from their perspective. being you know, being the leaders of dioceses around the world. they think he's the guy who can clean it up. he's got a big job ahead of him. >> talk about the significance of him being a jesuit. this is so special, to

peter's square by surprise, there was unabashed joy in buenos aires tonight.orge mario bergoglio is an argentine-born son of italian immigrants, one of five children. he lost a lung to an infection when he was a teenager but went on to become a priest in 1969. he joined the jesuit order, embracing an austere lifestyle. even as a cardinal and archbishop of buenos aires, he shunned the privileges and trappings that usually come with the job. >> he took the tram to work. he lived in a small apartment rather than in the archbishop's palace. he's not a man of a lot of fuss, pomp and circumstances. >> reporter: in 2005, bergoglio was runner-up behind joseph ratzinger to replace the late pope john paul ii. he is regarded as a strong defender of catholic doctrine, described by his biographer as a balancing force. he earned a reputation in argentina as a fierce advocate for the poor. >> this is a man of god, a man of the new evangelization, a man who is a great defender of democracy in a country where democracy is under real stress right now in argentina. >> reporter:

he is a cardinal, of course, he's the archbishop of buenos aires. he's also older, 76 years old. he's older than the front-runners that a number of people were talking about earlier today. we're learn more about him going forward, but again, jorge mario bergoglio is taking the name frances i, himself a reformer about a millennium or so ago. very important to the changes that we saw in the church when frances of the cici initiated a great deal of changes within the catholic church. >> mary, you know, there was some debate early on, basically about whether or not they were going to go with a younger candidate for, who would be the pope for a longer period of time, which would give him the chance to rebuild the church, to grow the church, to set out his mission and complete his mission. yet the other side of the coin was, that they wanted an older pope that had more pastoral experience, and also, more global experience. so to bill's point, i wonder if they compromised a little bit on the age issue, in order to get the growth side of the equation. >> it could certainly be one of the

in buenos aires, people poured into the streets and celebrated through the night. this is extremely exciting for us. for the first time in --entinian has become a pope even aside from his nationality, i think he's very compassionate and humble. i think he will be a great pope. >> i think he will have a message of unity and community for the church. that's very important. we are very happy. >> in argentina, bergoglio championed people on the margins of society. he spoke out against corruption in his country. bergoglio is a conservative on moral issues. many catholics in europe are hoping he can push through reforms in the church. >> on thursday, the chinese parliament elected xi jinping as president, one of 3000 delegates at the national people's congress voted against xi. three abstained. .e replaces hu jintao great -- ledlet the military the military. china's new leadership faces some big challenges. economic growth is slowing, and the gaps between rich and poor is becoming more pronounced. china also desperately needs to solve its growing environmental problems.

as he has done in argentina as archbishop of buenos aires.er interesting fact, we talk about someone who's an evangelizer. we also talk about we want someone who knows how to manage. manage a team. manage the curia. it's interesting to note this cardinal, francis i, when he was cardinal bergoglio was elected by bishops to be the head of the bishops -- he's recognized by other pastors as someone who can lead pastors. someone who both has the capacity to evangelize and also to manage. >> indeed. thanks for the moment to father bartunek, elizabeth lev, george weigel and my colleague, kris jansing. stay with us. we'll have much more just ahead.
