I dag er det et år siden, kardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio fra Argentina blev valgt som pave. Vi viser billeder fra hans første år

Den 13. marts 2013 blev spændingen udløst: Kardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio fra Argentina skulle afløse Benedikt XVI i paveembedet.

Han valgte Frans som sit navn, inspireret af munken og ordensstifteren Frans af Assisi, der i det 12. århundrede valgte et liv i fattigdom. Som begrundelse for sit navn gav paven, at særligt de fattiges vilkår og velbefindende står ham nært hjerte.

This image obtained December 11, 2013 courtesy of TIME Magazine shows the 2013 Person of the Year cover with Pope Francis. Time magazine on Wednesday named Pope Francis its person of the year, saying that in nine months in office the head of the Catholic Church had become a new voice of conscience. "For pulling the papacy out of the palace and into the streets, for committing the world's largest church to confronting its deepest needs and for balancing judgment with mercy, Pope Francis is TIME's 2013 Person of the Year, " wrote managing editor Nancy Gibbs."Rarely has a new player on the world stage captured so much attention so quickly - - young and old, faithful and cynical - - as Pope Francis.

A copy of Rolling Stone magazine is read on January 29, 2014 in Los Angeles, California. Pope Francis is taking his place alongside the icons of American popular culture by appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, which hits newsstands on January 31, 2014. It's the first time the staunchly liberal rock-music bible has featured a Roman Catholic pontiff on its cover, which is typically graced by pop stars and movie idols. "Pope Francis: the times they are a-changin', " reads the cover headline that borrows the title of Bob Dylan's classic early 1960s anthem. The Argentine-born pope, who took office in March last year, has previously been Time magazine's Person of the Year. He also made the cover of The Advocate, the respected US gay rights magazine. In an accompanying 8, 000-word profile, seen on its website January 29, 2014, Rolling Stone hailed the pontiff's relaxed style and his less aggressive stance on such hot-button issues as homosexuality compared to his two predecessors.
