Congratulations to Our Catholic Friends

Today the Roman Catholic Cardinals chose a new pope. Pope Francis of Buenos Aires stood on the balcony in St. Peter’s Square and asked for the faithful to join in prayer. He stood in silence for a long moment before saying a word. We are encouraged that the cardinals chose a man known for humility and servanthood and pray, as he requested, that he will nurture such traits among all religious leaders.

Best wishes as the Roman Catholic Church enters a new era.
