Scarcely a week ago, on a Wednesday afternoon about 2:05 PM, I returned home and had the fortunate idea of going directly to EWTN on the computer just in time to see the white smoke announcing the election of a new pope. An exciting hour followed waiting to hear that it would be Jorge Mario Bergoglio, whose name had not been bandied about even by the Catholic press, to be the successor to chair of Peter.
EWTN along with the Moynihan Letters and Whispers in the Loggia provide all the news about Pope Francis I and his papacy.
