PM congratulates new Pope

The Australian government has congratulated Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio on his election as Pope of the Roman Catholic Church.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the election of a Pope from the ‘new world’ is an occasion of genuinely historic proportions.

‘Today is an exciting day for Australian Catholics and perhaps especially for Australians of Argentinian descent,’ she said in a statement.

‘My thoughts are with them all.’
