During a meeting with the leaders of the Catholic Church in Poland
at his Jerusalem residence Thursday, President Shimon Peres
congratulated the new pope on being chosen for the office. “The newly elected Pope represents devotion, the love of G-d, the love of peace, a modesty, and a new continent which is now awakening,” Peres said.“We need, more than ever, a spiritual leadership
and not just a political one. Where political leaders may divide,
spiritual leaders may unite. Unite around a vision, unite around values,
unite around a faith that we can make the world a better place to
live."Peres invited the new Pope to visit Israel and said, "I would like to take this opportunity to invite the newly elected Pope
to pay a visit to the Holy Land at the earliest possibility. He'll be a
welcome guest in the Holy Land, as a man of inspiration that can add to
the attempt to bring peace in a stormy area. All people here, without
exception, without difference of religion or nationality will welcome
the newly elected Pope."Addressing relations with the Vatican,
Peres said that "relations between the Vatican and the Jewish people are
now at their best in the last 2,000 years and I hope they will grow in
content and depths.”Peres also spoke about the outgoing Pope. "I have much respect for the resigned Pope,
Benedict, I found him a dear friend of our people, a profound thinker
and he really contributed so much to bringing together, historically and
otherwise, the relations between the Catholic Church and the Jewish
people,” Peres said.
Choosing a pope from Argentina, making him the first from the New World, shows the church has recognized that the center of mass among its own faithful and Christianity at large has shifted, Protestant leaders said."It may well be that they're looking for a bridge-builder," said Catherine Ziel, of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.Pope Francis' membership in the Jesuit Order, a historically free-thinking sect whose members eschew worldly comforts, might show recognition that inequality between the rich and poor of the world is a major problem the church must tackle.
"To choose an advocate for the
poor signals something not just for Catholicism but global Christianity
overall," said Tony Sundermeier, pastor of First Presbyterian Church in
Allentown.Bergoglio's selection on the second day of the conclave of the College of Cardinals
came as a surprise to many religious leaders in the Lehigh Valley. The
cardinal of Buenos Aires, Bergoglio, 76, was chosen from among more than
100 possible candidates and was not regarded among the most likely.Nagi
Latefa, president of the Muslim Association of Lehigh Valley, could not
speak about Bergoglio specifically but expressed hope that he will
continue the centuries-long interaction between the Catholic Church and
the Muslim faith."We hope with the election of the new pope,
Muslims and Catholics will focus on what the next hundred years will
be," Latefa said. "We hope that Muslims and Catholics can work together
to make the world a better place."
Others said Bergoglio's background as a church leader in Argentina gives them confidence that he will work to forge bonds with other faiths.Seth Goren, an associate chaplain at Lehigh University, said he foresees Francis picking up Pope John Paul II's effort to develop a relationship with Judaism.John Paul II, who died in 2005, was the first pope to visit a synagogue and was hailed for visiting the former Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, where thousands of Jews were killed during the Holocaust.Bergoglio was lauded for his compassion after a 1994 bombing that targeted two Argentine national Jewish organizations."Having someone who comes in with an understanding of Judaism and Jews and having someone who can bring that into an organization like the Catholic Church can benefit Jews and Judaism in a number of ways," Goren said.Ken Briggs, a retired Lafayette College professor and former New York Times religion editor, said it's probably too soon to say how Francis will perform.The selection of a cardinal from a Latin American country acknowledges the faith's growth in the southern hemisphere, he said. The Catholic Church has seen its faith expand in Africa as well, which made Cardinal of Ghana Peter Turkson a favored candidate.
But Latin America is largely dominated by the Catholic Church, with no strong influence from other faiths, Briggs said."It is hard to know without more information about how much he has been outside that Catholic circle," Briggs said. "I think that is for non-Catholics going to be a big issue."Francis' stance on fundamental issues on which the Catholic Church has remained steadfast might also determine how his relationship with other faiths develops, Briggs said."Benedict caused lots of consternation in the non-Catholic world by seeming to aid and abet opposition to openness to women," Briggs said. "Whether this pope follows in the same line will have a lot to do with how well he will get along with the non-Catholic world."He said Bergoglio's vow of poverty as a Jesuit might be taken by some in the liberal Protestant world as a sign the Catholic Church is set to focus on social justice.Sundermeier, of First Presbyterian in Allentown, said he is enthused by Bergoglio's humility.As a Christian, Francis is someone that I can rally around and I would even use the word 'follow' because his core beliefs are cross-doctrinal," he said.

"I thank you for this welcome by the diocesan community of Rome to its bishop. Thank you."First of all, I would like to say a prayer for our bishop emeritus, Benedict XVI. Let us all pray together for him, let us all pray together for him so that the Lord my bless him and that the Madonna may protect him."(The new pope then prayed the "Lord's Prayer", the "Hail Mary" and the "Glory Be" with the crowd in Italian).He then continued:"And now, let us start this journey, bishop and people, bishop and people, this journey of the Church of Rome, which leads all the Churches in charity, a journey of fraternity, of love, of trust among us.
"Let us always pray for us, one for the other, let us pray for the whole world, so that there may be a great fraternity. I hope that this journey of the Church that we begin today and which my cardinal vicar, who is here with me, will help me with, may be fruitful for the evangelisation of this beautiful city."Now, I would like to give you a blessing, but first I want to ask you for a favour. Before the bishop blesses the people, I ask that you pray to the Lord so that he blesses me. This is the prayer of the people who are asking for the blessing of their bishop."In silence, let us say this prayer of you for me."(After a few seconds of silent prayer, he then delivered his blessing).He then concluded:"Now, I will give you and the whole world a blessing, to all men and women of good will. Tomorrow I want to go to pray to the Madonna so that she protects all of Rome. Good night and have a good rest." (Reporting By Philip Pullella; editing by Crispian Balmer)

New pope has history of good relations with Jewish community- Jorge Mario Bergoglio was first to sign petition demanding justice in AMIA bombing; rabbi calls him a ‘warm and sweet and modest man’ March 13, 2013, 11:49 pm 1-The Times of Israel
Catholic church chooses new pope
JTA – Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Argentinian cardinal who was elected pope late Wednesday and will take the name Francis I, is said to have a good relationship with Argentinian Jews.Bergoglio, 76, a Jesuit, was the choice of the College of Cardinals following two days of voting in Vatican City. He is the first pope to come from outside Europe in more than a millennium; reflecting the changing demographics of Catholics, he comes from Latin America.As archbishop of Buenos Aires, Bergoglio attended Rosh Hashanah services at the Benei Tikva Slijot synagogue in September 2007.Rabbi David Rosen, the director of interfaith affairs for the American Jewish Committee, told JTA that the new pope is a “warm and sweet and modest man” known in Buenos Aires for doing his own cooking and personally answering his phone.After the bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in 1994, he “showed solidarity with the Jewish community,” Rosen said.In 2005, Bergoglio was the first public personality to sign a petition for justice in the AMIA bombing case. He also was one of the signatories on a document called “85 victims, 85 signatures” as part of the bombing’s 11th anniversary. In June 2010, he visited the rebuilt AMIA building to talk with Jewish leaders.“Those who said Benedict was the last pope who would be a pope that lived through the Shoah, or that said there would not be another pope who had a personal connection to the Jewish people, they were wrong,” Rosen said.Soon after the chimney of the Sistine Chapel sent up a puff of white smoke signifying that the cardinals had selected a successor to Pope Benedict XVI, Francis addressed thousands of faithful from the balcony of St. Peter’s Baslica.“Buonasera,” he told them, saying “Good evening” in Italian, and thanked his fellow cardinals for going “almost to the ends of the earth” to find him.Benedict was the first pontiff to step down since 1415.Israel Singer, the former head of the World Jewish Congress, said he spent time working with Bergoglio when the two were distributing aid to the poor in Buenos Aires in the early 2000s, part of a joint Jewish-Catholic program called Tzedaka.“We went out to the barrios where Jews and Catholics were suffering togeher,” Singer told JTA. “If everyone sat in chairs with handles, he would sit in the one without. He was always looking to be more modest. He’s going to find it hard to wear all these uniforms.”
Bergoglio also wrote the foreward of a book by Rabbi Sergio Bergman and referred to him as “one of my teachers.”Last November, Bergoglio hosted a Kristallnacht memorial event at the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral with Rabbi Alejandro Avruj from the NCI-Emanuel World Masorti congregation.He also has worked with the Latin American Jewish Congress and held meetings with Jewish youth who participate in its New Generations program.“The Latin American Jewish Congress has had a close relationship with Jorge Bergoglio for several years,” Claudio Epelman, executive director of the Latin American Jewish Congress, told JTA. “We know his values and strengths. We have no doubt he will do a great job leading the Catholic Church.”In his visit to the Buenos Aires synagogue, according to the Catholic Zenit news agency, Bergoglio told the congregation that he was there to examine his heart “like a pilgrim, together with you, my elder brothers.”“Today, here in this synagogue, we are made newly aware of the fact that we are a people on a journey and we place ourselves in God’s presence,” Zenit quoted the then-archbishop as saying. “We must look at him and let him look at us, to examine our heart in his presence and to ask ourselves if we are walking blamelessly.”Renzo Gattegna, the president of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities, offered Italian Jewry’s congratualations to the new pope with the “most fervent wishes” that his pontificate could bring “peace and brotherhood to all humanity.”In particular, Gattegna voiced the hope that there would be a continuation “with reciprocal satisfaction” of “the intense course of dialogue that the Jews have always hoped for and that has been also realized through the work of the popes who have led the church in the recent past.”
New Pope Said to Have Good Relations With Argentine Jews-The Roman College of Cardinals on Monday evening elected Jorge Bergoglio, the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, as its new Pope By David Lev First Publish: 3/13/2013, 9:39 PM-Israelnationalnews
The Roman College of Cardinals on Monday evening elected Jorge Bergoglio, the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, as its new Pope. Bergoglio, who has taken the name Francis I for his office, is the first Pope to be chosen from outside of Europe.South America has the world's largest population of Catholics, and Spanish is the most widely used language in the Church. Nevertheless, commentators said that the choice of Bergoglio was “unusual” because of his age. Bergoglio is 76, and it was expected that a younger man would be chosen.However, Bergoglio has the reputation of a reformer, and pundits said that the choice of Bergoglio was a shrewd one on the part of the Cardinals, as the Church now has a symbol that could reconnect with masses of Catholics who have been disillusioned by the scandals in the Catholic Church, such as the large numbers of pedophile charges against priests, as well as the Church's unpopular positions on a number of personal issues.Bergoglio is said to have had good relations with Argentinian Jews. He was praised by local and U.S. Jewish community leaders for his response to the 1994 bombing of the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association. In 2005, Bergoglio signed a joint statement against terrorism together with Jose Adaszko of the Israel Mutual Association of Argentina, and Omar Helal Massud of the Islamic Center, with an emphasis on preventing attacks such as the 1994 bombing.

Politics clouding Obama's coming visit to Israel -Published: March 13, 2013 Updated 5 hours ago -- Mideast Israel Palestinians Obama Controversy
In this Tuesday , March 12, 2013 photo, a Palestinian woman walks past posters showing US President Barack Obama in the West Bank city of Ramallah. Obama’s trip to Jerusalem and the West Bank, which Israeli officials say will take place March 20-22, is the U.S. leader’s first trip to the region as president, and his first overseas trip since being reelected.
By DANIEL ESTRIN — Associated Press
JERUSALEM — A week before President Barack Obama is set to arrive in the region, Middle East politics are already casting a cloud over the visit as Israeli and Palestinian officials plan a series of events to promote their agendas.Jerusalem city officials are offering visiting journalists a free tour of Israel's most contentious archaeological excavation, a sprawling dig in the heart of contested east Jerusalem. Israel has also suggested that journalists could avoid going to the West Bank with Obama when he meets with Palestinian leaders.On the other side of the divide, Palestinian officials hope to introduce the U.S. president to the family of a prisoner held by Israel. Activists say they will also greet Obama with posters and demonstrations meant to draw attention to life under Israeli military occupation.These events offer a glimpse of the political minefield Obama will have to navigate when he visits Israel and the West Bank next week, the first time he has come to the area as president. Each side will be trying to win his support for some of the most contentious issues between them.Israel will be looking for assurances that the U.S. is serious about stopping Iran's suspect nuclear program. Obama will also be seeking to repair a strained relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. While he has said he will not present any grand peace plan, Obama will also be under pressure to convince the Palestinians that he is serious about getting peace efforts restarted - and presumably pressing Israel to make new concessions.With so much at stake, Israelis and Palestinians are hoping to capitalize on their moment in the spotlight.
In a statement to reporters, Jerusalem municipal officials said they would be "taking advantage" of the visit to put the holy city's best face forward. Crews have been pulling up weeds along the roads Obama's motorcade will take. Decorative lights will be illuminated all night long on the ancient walls of the Old City, opposite Obama's hotel, "to allow the president to view them from his room and for the hundreds of journalists broadcasting throughout the night to the U.S. to see the city's beauty."
City officials are also promising to escort journalists to "important and famous historical sites." Among the spots are the "City of David," a politically sensitive archaeological site in an Arab neighborhood just outside the Old City.The dig, named for the biblical King David thought to have ruled from the spot 3,000 years ago, was conducted by Israeli government archaeologists. The project has generated controversy because it was funded by a nationalist Jewish group that buys up properties in Arab neighborhoods of east Jerusalem, then moves Jewish settlers into the homes - which critics say is meant to make it impossible to divide the city in a future peace deal.Palestinians and some Israeli archaeologists have also criticized the City of David dig for what they say is an excessive focus on Jewish remains, and have called into question some of the dig's claims that attribute ruins to the King David.East Jerusalem, home to the Old City and its sensitive holy sites, was captured by Israel in 1967 and subsequently annexed in a move that has never been internationally recognized. The Palestinians also claim east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state. Resolving the competing claims to the area is the most explosive issue in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Brachie Sprung, an adviser to the mayor, said the City of David is one of Jerusalem's most popular attractions. She rejected suggestions that the free tours were politically motivated."In 2012 the city of Jerusalem experienced record breaking tourism which boosted economic growth, benefitting all segments of the population," Sprung said in an email.After spending the first day of his visit next Wednesday with Israeli officials, Obama is scheduled to journey to the West Bank the following day for talks with the Palestinians.But Israel's Government Press Office says journalists need not make the trip, which involves crossing through a military checkpoint. It said a special media center in Jerusalem will provide a live feed of Obama's meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas "in order to obviate the need to travel back-and-forth to the Palestinian Authority areas."GPO Director Nitzan Chen said the live feed was meant solely for convenience. "We are not encouraging people to go or not" to go to the West Bank, Chen said.
The Palestinians, meanwhile, are intent on showing the president what life is like under Israeli occupation. Abbas leads a self-rule government that enjoys limited autonomy in the West Bank. But Israel wields overall control of the area, which the Palestinians claim as the heartland of their future state.Palestinian officials said they have notified American officials that they want Obama to meet the family of a Palestinian prisoner held in Israel. The Palestinians said the U.S. hasn't replied.The subject of prisoners is emotional for the Palestinians. Most Palestinians have a relative who served time in Israeli jails, and prisoners are widely seen as heroes battling Israeli occupation. Israel sees many of the prisoners as terrorists.Upon reaching Ramallah, just a short distance from Jerusalem, Obama will be greeted by large posters with his headshot that read, "President Obama: Don't bring your smartphone to Ramallah ... We have no 3G in Palestine."Israeli authorities, who control cellular networks in the West Bank, have not granted Palestinian telecommunication companies 3G frequencies. A spokesman for the Israeli Communications Ministry said those frequencies are not available for Palestinian use.Palestinian officials said unknown private activists hung the banners.
Another private group, calling itself "Palestinians for Dignity," said it will greet Obama by raising black flags and launching thousands of black balloons into the sky to protest American policy. The Palestinians have long accused the U.S. of being biased toward Israel.Israeli students at a university in the West Bank settlement of Ariel are also accusing Obama of bias, saying they were not invited to an Obama speech in Jerusalem planned for college students. Students from other Israeli universities have been invited."We are shocked and very surprised at the discrimination and the inequality," said Shay Shahaf, chairman of the student association at Ariel University, in a text message. The U.S. Embassy and Ariel University had no comment.The international community, including the U.S., strongly opposes Israeli settlement construction in occupied territories where the Palestinians hope to build their state.---Follow Estrin at twitter.com/danielestrin.

Peres to New Pope: Come to Israel
President Peres congratulated the new pope on being chosen for the office at a meeting with Church leaders Thursday.
Shimon Peres-Flash90
Pope Francis 'a friend of the Islamic community' (JUST LIKE THE BIBLE PREDICTED)
Argentine Muslim, House for the Diffusion of Islam head, Sheij Mohsen Ali
Argentine Muslims have welcomed the
election of Argentine cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as the head of the
Roman Cathoilic Churhc. In an interview with Buenosairesherald.com, Sheij Mohsen Ali and CIRA Secretary General Dr.Sumer Noufouri praised Pope Francis’s “pro-dialogue” nature.“He always showed himself as a friend of the Islamic community. He
visited the At-Tauhid Mosque (located) in the neighborhood of Floresta
and the Arab-Argentine Ali Ibn Abi Talib School strengthening our
relations”, the Director of the House for the Diffusion of Islam Sheik
Mohsen Ali said and described a personal anecdote with the man that has
now become “the Pope of the end of the world.”“In Suipacha Street, at the headquarters of the Argentine Episcopacy,
his humility drew my attention. I went there with Sheij Abdul Karim
Paz. There was a small wicker chair and some soft armchairs. He took the
little chair for himself and left us the comfortable armchairs,” the
Sheij Mohsen Ali recalled now that Catholics around the world learn that
their religious leader used to take the subway while being a Cardinal
in Buenos Aires.More sensitive issues, political arguments, also seem to prove the
nature of the two times president of the Argentine Episcopal Conference.
“By the time of the 2006 Lebanon War, I held an argument with one of
his assistants. He received me and understood my position. He acted like
a friend, not a personal friend because we did not have the time to
deepen our relation, but he has been a friend," the Muslim leader
affirmed.Regarding the tensions between Pope Francis and the administration of
President Cristina Fernández de Kircher, Sheij Mohsen Ali called for
dialogue. “Everyone knows the position Bergoglio has about the
government of Cristina, a model I support. Channels of dialogue must
come up. As in life, we all have lights and shadows. I wish Francis
becomes even better and shadows can dissipate”, one of the most renowned
voices among Argentina’s Islamic community hoped for.“With joy and expectation of strengthening dialogue between
religions”, Secretary General of the Islamic Center of the Republic of
Argentina (CIRA) Dr. Sumer Noufouri told Buenosairesherald.com to resume how news about Bergoglio’s appointment were received by the institution he presides.Considering ties between the CIRA and now Pope Francis “excellent”,
Dr. Noufouri explained that the one-decade relation has helped to build
Christian-Muslim dialogue, something “really significant in the history
of monotheistic relations in Argentina”. A “joint work”, CIRA head
added, “that we have never given up on”.
Mario Jorge Bergoglio is a “respectful, pro-dialogue person who knows the Islam”, the CIRA Secretary General said and, just like Sheij Mohsen Ali. he chose an anecdote to picture the personality of the elected pontiff.“When Bergoglio attended the CIRA to have lunch with the board, he told us that in Rome, when he talked about the relation he had with Muslims saying that he came to the CIRA and that we congratulated him on Christmas, they just could not believe it, it shocked them,” Dr. Noufouri said and affirmed that “Argentina is a model of dialogue and coexistence that, God willing, could be exported to the world.”

Spiritual leaders see promise of interfaith cooperation in Pope Francis
Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio's election as pope signals that the Roman Catholic Church is renewing an effort to bridge gaps between its members and non-Catholics, leaders of other faiths said Wednesday.Choosing a pope from Argentina, making him the first from the New World, shows the church has recognized that the center of mass among its own faithful and Christianity at large has shifted, Protestant leaders said."It may well be that they're looking for a bridge-builder," said Catherine Ziel, of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.Pope Francis' membership in the Jesuit Order, a historically free-thinking sect whose members eschew worldly comforts, might show recognition that inequality between the rich and poor of the world is a major problem the church must tackle.
Others said Bergoglio's background as a church leader in Argentina gives them confidence that he will work to forge bonds with other faiths.Seth Goren, an associate chaplain at Lehigh University, said he foresees Francis picking up Pope John Paul II's effort to develop a relationship with Judaism.John Paul II, who died in 2005, was the first pope to visit a synagogue and was hailed for visiting the former Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, where thousands of Jews were killed during the Holocaust.Bergoglio was lauded for his compassion after a 1994 bombing that targeted two Argentine national Jewish organizations."Having someone who comes in with an understanding of Judaism and Jews and having someone who can bring that into an organization like the Catholic Church can benefit Jews and Judaism in a number of ways," Goren said.Ken Briggs, a retired Lafayette College professor and former New York Times religion editor, said it's probably too soon to say how Francis will perform.The selection of a cardinal from a Latin American country acknowledges the faith's growth in the southern hemisphere, he said. The Catholic Church has seen its faith expand in Africa as well, which made Cardinal of Ghana Peter Turkson a favored candidate.
But Latin America is largely dominated by the Catholic Church, with no strong influence from other faiths, Briggs said."It is hard to know without more information about how much he has been outside that Catholic circle," Briggs said. "I think that is for non-Catholics going to be a big issue."Francis' stance on fundamental issues on which the Catholic Church has remained steadfast might also determine how his relationship with other faiths develops, Briggs said."Benedict caused lots of consternation in the non-Catholic world by seeming to aid and abet opposition to openness to women," Briggs said. "Whether this pope follows in the same line will have a lot to do with how well he will get along with the non-Catholic world."He said Bergoglio's vow of poverty as a Jesuit might be taken by some in the liberal Protestant world as a sign the Catholic Church is set to focus on social justice.Sundermeier, of First Presbyterian in Allentown, said he is enthused by Bergoglio's humility.As a Christian, Francis is someone that I can rally around and I would even use the word 'follow' because his core beliefs are cross-doctrinal," he said.

Text: New Pope Francis's first words after election
Reuters – 17 hrs ago MAR 13,2013-3:13PM
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis, the former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina, delivered his first blessing and message to Rome and the world about an hour after his election as successor of Pope Benedict.Here is a transcript of his first words as pope as translated by Reuters from the Italian.
"Brothers and sisters, good evening."You know that the duty of the conclave was to give a
bishop to Rome. It seems that my brother cardinals went almost to the
end of the world to get him. But here we are.
"I thank you for this welcome by the diocesan community of Rome to its bishop. Thank you."First of all, I would like to say a prayer for our bishop emeritus, Benedict XVI. Let us all pray together for him, let us all pray together for him so that the Lord my bless him and that the Madonna may protect him."(The new pope then prayed the "Lord's Prayer", the "Hail Mary" and the "Glory Be" with the crowd in Italian).He then continued:"And now, let us start this journey, bishop and people, bishop and people, this journey of the Church of Rome, which leads all the Churches in charity, a journey of fraternity, of love, of trust among us.
"Let us always pray for us, one for the other, let us pray for the whole world, so that there may be a great fraternity. I hope that this journey of the Church that we begin today and which my cardinal vicar, who is here with me, will help me with, may be fruitful for the evangelisation of this beautiful city."Now, I would like to give you a blessing, but first I want to ask you for a favour. Before the bishop blesses the people, I ask that you pray to the Lord so that he blesses me. This is the prayer of the people who are asking for the blessing of their bishop."In silence, let us say this prayer of you for me."(After a few seconds of silent prayer, he then delivered his blessing).He then concluded:"Now, I will give you and the whole world a blessing, to all men and women of good will. Tomorrow I want to go to pray to the Madonna so that she protects all of Rome. Good night and have a good rest." (Reporting By Philip Pullella; editing by Crispian Balmer)

Jorge Mario Bergoglio is the new Pope of the Catholic Church: Francis I
The Conclave has elected the Argentinean cardinal as 266th successor of Peter
The new Pope, the 76-year old Argentinean Jesuit, Jorge Mario
Bergoglio, was Ratzinger’s main contender in the last Conclave. He is
unusual in that he has always rejected posts in the Roman Curia and only
visited the Vatican when it was absolutely necessary. One thing he
hates to see in the clergy is “spiritual wordliness”: ecclesiastical
careerism disguised as clerical refinement.
The new Pope was born in Buenos Aires and later became its
archbishop, on 17 December 1936. He was born to a Piedmontese family,
graduated as a technical chemist and then entered the novitiate of the
Company of Jesus. He completed studies in the humanities in Chile and
obtained a degree in Philosophy and Theology in Argentina. He was
Professor and Rector of the Philosophical and Theological Faculty of San
Miguel and vicar of the Patriarch of San José, in the Diocese of San
Miguel.
In 1986 he completed a PhD in Germany, after which he
returned to Argentina, where his superiors made him spiritual director
and confessor in the Jesuit Church of Cordoba. In 1992 John Paul II
appointed him Auxiliary Bishop of Buenos Aires, in 1997 he became
coadjutor bishop and a year later he succeeded Cardinal Antonio
Quarracino for six years, until 2011, when he became President of the
Bishops’ Conference of Argentina.
He doesn’t have a chauffeur and preferred to use the metro
to get around Buenos Aires. In Rome he prefers to get around on foot or
use public transport. Those who know him well see him as a true man of
God: the first thing he always asks people to do is pray for him.
In the pre-Conclave General Congregations, the new Pope spoke of Christianity as merciful and joyful. His favourite priests are those who work in the “villas miserias”, the slums of the Argentinean capital. Instead of driving people away with rigid doctrinal preachings, he tries to look at all possible solutions in an attempt to embrace those who are the furthest from the Christian community. The Church, he insists, must show the merciful side of God.

The secret conclave began on Tuesday night with a first inconclusive ballot. Three more inconclusive ballots were held on Wednesday before Francis obtained the required two-thirds majority of 77 votes in the fifth and final vote.Billowing white smoke poured from the Sistine Chapel and the bells of St. Peter's Basilica rang out to announce the news, drawing Romans and tourists to the Vatican."May God forgive you,"(FOR VOTING ME IN AS POPE) Bergoglio said to the cardinals at a subsequent dinner, raising loud laughter, according to New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan.(THIS WAS JUST AN INNOCENT JOKE OR IF IT IS NO JOKE .THEN-SINCE I BELIEVE HIM TO BE THE FINAL POPE AND A DEFECTOR FROM THE FAITH.THIS WOULD LITERALLY BE PROPHECY COMING TO PASS AND NOT JUST AN INNOCENT JOKE)

New pope has history of good relations with Jewish community- Jorge Mario Bergoglio was first to sign petition demanding justice in AMIA bombing; rabbi calls him a ‘warm and sweet and modest man’ March 13, 2013, 11:49 pm 1-The Times of Israel
Catholic church chooses new pope
JTA – Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Argentinian cardinal who was elected pope late Wednesday and will take the name Francis I, is said to have a good relationship with Argentinian Jews.Bergoglio, 76, a Jesuit, was the choice of the College of Cardinals following two days of voting in Vatican City. He is the first pope to come from outside Europe in more than a millennium; reflecting the changing demographics of Catholics, he comes from Latin America.As archbishop of Buenos Aires, Bergoglio attended Rosh Hashanah services at the Benei Tikva Slijot synagogue in September 2007.Rabbi David Rosen, the director of interfaith affairs for the American Jewish Committee, told JTA that the new pope is a “warm and sweet and modest man” known in Buenos Aires for doing his own cooking and personally answering his phone.After the bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in 1994, he “showed solidarity with the Jewish community,” Rosen said.In 2005, Bergoglio was the first public personality to sign a petition for justice in the AMIA bombing case. He also was one of the signatories on a document called “85 victims, 85 signatures” as part of the bombing’s 11th anniversary. In June 2010, he visited the rebuilt AMIA building to talk with Jewish leaders.“Those who said Benedict was the last pope who would be a pope that lived through the Shoah, or that said there would not be another pope who had a personal connection to the Jewish people, they were wrong,” Rosen said.Soon after the chimney of the Sistine Chapel sent up a puff of white smoke signifying that the cardinals had selected a successor to Pope Benedict XVI, Francis addressed thousands of faithful from the balcony of St. Peter’s Baslica.“Buonasera,” he told them, saying “Good evening” in Italian, and thanked his fellow cardinals for going “almost to the ends of the earth” to find him.Benedict was the first pontiff to step down since 1415.Israel Singer, the former head of the World Jewish Congress, said he spent time working with Bergoglio when the two were distributing aid to the poor in Buenos Aires in the early 2000s, part of a joint Jewish-Catholic program called Tzedaka.“We went out to the barrios where Jews and Catholics were suffering togeher,” Singer told JTA. “If everyone sat in chairs with handles, he would sit in the one without. He was always looking to be more modest. He’s going to find it hard to wear all these uniforms.”
Bergoglio also wrote the foreward of a book by Rabbi Sergio Bergman and referred to him as “one of my teachers.”Last November, Bergoglio hosted a Kristallnacht memorial event at the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral with Rabbi Alejandro Avruj from the NCI-Emanuel World Masorti congregation.He also has worked with the Latin American Jewish Congress and held meetings with Jewish youth who participate in its New Generations program.“The Latin American Jewish Congress has had a close relationship with Jorge Bergoglio for several years,” Claudio Epelman, executive director of the Latin American Jewish Congress, told JTA. “We know his values and strengths. We have no doubt he will do a great job leading the Catholic Church.”In his visit to the Buenos Aires synagogue, according to the Catholic Zenit news agency, Bergoglio told the congregation that he was there to examine his heart “like a pilgrim, together with you, my elder brothers.”“Today, here in this synagogue, we are made newly aware of the fact that we are a people on a journey and we place ourselves in God’s presence,” Zenit quoted the then-archbishop as saying. “We must look at him and let him look at us, to examine our heart in his presence and to ask ourselves if we are walking blamelessly.”Renzo Gattegna, the president of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities, offered Italian Jewry’s congratualations to the new pope with the “most fervent wishes” that his pontificate could bring “peace and brotherhood to all humanity.”In particular, Gattegna voiced the hope that there would be a continuation “with reciprocal satisfaction” of “the intense course of dialogue that the Jews have always hoped for and that has been also realized through the work of the popes who have led the church in the recent past.”
New Pope Said to Have Good Relations With Argentine Jews-The Roman College of Cardinals on Monday evening elected Jorge Bergoglio, the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, as its new Pope By David Lev First Publish: 3/13/2013, 9:39 PM-Israelnationalnews
The Roman College of Cardinals on Monday evening elected Jorge Bergoglio, the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, as its new Pope. Bergoglio, who has taken the name Francis I for his office, is the first Pope to be chosen from outside of Europe.South America has the world's largest population of Catholics, and Spanish is the most widely used language in the Church. Nevertheless, commentators said that the choice of Bergoglio was “unusual” because of his age. Bergoglio is 76, and it was expected that a younger man would be chosen.However, Bergoglio has the reputation of a reformer, and pundits said that the choice of Bergoglio was a shrewd one on the part of the Cardinals, as the Church now has a symbol that could reconnect with masses of Catholics who have been disillusioned by the scandals in the Catholic Church, such as the large numbers of pedophile charges against priests, as well as the Church's unpopular positions on a number of personal issues.Bergoglio is said to have had good relations with Argentinian Jews. He was praised by local and U.S. Jewish community leaders for his response to the 1994 bombing of the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association. In 2005, Bergoglio signed a joint statement against terrorism together with Jose Adaszko of the Israel Mutual Association of Argentina, and Omar Helal Massud of the Islamic Center, with an emphasis on preventing attacks such as the 1994 bombing.

Politics clouding Obama's coming visit to Israel -Published: March 13, 2013 Updated 5 hours ago -- Mideast Israel Palestinians Obama Controversy
In this Tuesday , March 12, 2013 photo, a Palestinian woman walks past posters showing US President Barack Obama in the West Bank city of Ramallah. Obama’s trip to Jerusalem and the West Bank, which Israeli officials say will take place March 20-22, is the U.S. leader’s first trip to the region as president, and his first overseas trip since being reelected.

JERUSALEM — A week before President Barack Obama is set to arrive in the region, Middle East politics are already casting a cloud over the visit as Israeli and Palestinian officials plan a series of events to promote their agendas.Jerusalem city officials are offering visiting journalists a free tour of Israel's most contentious archaeological excavation, a sprawling dig in the heart of contested east Jerusalem. Israel has also suggested that journalists could avoid going to the West Bank with Obama when he meets with Palestinian leaders.On the other side of the divide, Palestinian officials hope to introduce the U.S. president to the family of a prisoner held by Israel. Activists say they will also greet Obama with posters and demonstrations meant to draw attention to life under Israeli military occupation.These events offer a glimpse of the political minefield Obama will have to navigate when he visits Israel and the West Bank next week, the first time he has come to the area as president. Each side will be trying to win his support for some of the most contentious issues between them.Israel will be looking for assurances that the U.S. is serious about stopping Iran's suspect nuclear program. Obama will also be seeking to repair a strained relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. While he has said he will not present any grand peace plan, Obama will also be under pressure to convince the Palestinians that he is serious about getting peace efforts restarted - and presumably pressing Israel to make new concessions.With so much at stake, Israelis and Palestinians are hoping to capitalize on their moment in the spotlight.
In a statement to reporters, Jerusalem municipal officials said they would be "taking advantage" of the visit to put the holy city's best face forward. Crews have been pulling up weeds along the roads Obama's motorcade will take. Decorative lights will be illuminated all night long on the ancient walls of the Old City, opposite Obama's hotel, "to allow the president to view them from his room and for the hundreds of journalists broadcasting throughout the night to the U.S. to see the city's beauty."
City officials are also promising to escort journalists to "important and famous historical sites." Among the spots are the "City of David," a politically sensitive archaeological site in an Arab neighborhood just outside the Old City.The dig, named for the biblical King David thought to have ruled from the spot 3,000 years ago, was conducted by Israeli government archaeologists. The project has generated controversy because it was funded by a nationalist Jewish group that buys up properties in Arab neighborhoods of east Jerusalem, then moves Jewish settlers into the homes - which critics say is meant to make it impossible to divide the city in a future peace deal.Palestinians and some Israeli archaeologists have also criticized the City of David dig for what they say is an excessive focus on Jewish remains, and have called into question some of the dig's claims that attribute ruins to the King David.East Jerusalem, home to the Old City and its sensitive holy sites, was captured by Israel in 1967 and subsequently annexed in a move that has never been internationally recognized. The Palestinians also claim east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state. Resolving the competing claims to the area is the most explosive issue in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Brachie Sprung, an adviser to the mayor, said the City of David is one of Jerusalem's most popular attractions. She rejected suggestions that the free tours were politically motivated."In 2012 the city of Jerusalem experienced record breaking tourism which boosted economic growth, benefitting all segments of the population," Sprung said in an email.After spending the first day of his visit next Wednesday with Israeli officials, Obama is scheduled to journey to the West Bank the following day for talks with the Palestinians.But Israel's Government Press Office says journalists need not make the trip, which involves crossing through a military checkpoint. It said a special media center in Jerusalem will provide a live feed of Obama's meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas "in order to obviate the need to travel back-and-forth to the Palestinian Authority areas."GPO Director Nitzan Chen said the live feed was meant solely for convenience. "We are not encouraging people to go or not" to go to the West Bank, Chen said.
The Palestinians, meanwhile, are intent on showing the president what life is like under Israeli occupation. Abbas leads a self-rule government that enjoys limited autonomy in the West Bank. But Israel wields overall control of the area, which the Palestinians claim as the heartland of their future state.Palestinian officials said they have notified American officials that they want Obama to meet the family of a Palestinian prisoner held in Israel. The Palestinians said the U.S. hasn't replied.The subject of prisoners is emotional for the Palestinians. Most Palestinians have a relative who served time in Israeli jails, and prisoners are widely seen as heroes battling Israeli occupation. Israel sees many of the prisoners as terrorists.Upon reaching Ramallah, just a short distance from Jerusalem, Obama will be greeted by large posters with his headshot that read, "President Obama: Don't bring your smartphone to Ramallah ... We have no 3G in Palestine."Israeli authorities, who control cellular networks in the West Bank, have not granted Palestinian telecommunication companies 3G frequencies. A spokesman for the Israeli Communications Ministry said those frequencies are not available for Palestinian use.Palestinian officials said unknown private activists hung the banners.
Another private group, calling itself "Palestinians for Dignity," said it will greet Obama by raising black flags and launching thousands of black balloons into the sky to protest American policy. The Palestinians have long accused the U.S. of being biased toward Israel.Israeli students at a university in the West Bank settlement of Ariel are also accusing Obama of bias, saying they were not invited to an Obama speech in Jerusalem planned for college students. Students from other Israeli universities have been invited."We are shocked and very surprised at the discrimination and the inequality," said Shay Shahaf, chairman of the student association at Ariel University, in a text message. The U.S. Embassy and Ariel University had no comment.The international community, including the U.S., strongly opposes Israeli settlement construction in occupied territories where the Palestinians hope to build their state.---Follow Estrin at twitter.com/danielestrin.
