2. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Cardinal Fernando Natalio Chomalí Garib, Archbishop of Santiago de Chile:
“What do I expect from him? The first thing I expect from him is to be himself. A humble man, who knows very well the church, he knows the Latin-American church. He has a strong closeness to the poor people, he knows the world because he was the superior of the Augustinians’ order for many years. He is a man of great culture and of prayer. I am very happy and I want to say one last thing and then I have to go: 133 men, completely different men, from all over the world who come to an agreement, despite being from 71 different countries, it is a miracle of the Holy Spirit. And also an example for all our countries where nobody comes to an agreement."
UPSOUND reporter: How many cardinals?
"133, sorry my Italian."
UPSOUND reporter: How many voted for Prevost?
"I can’t say that.”
3. Cardinal leaving and entering Vatican

“A great promise for the entire world and for the church."
UPSOUND reporter: Was it hard to reach an agreement?

5. Cardinal entering Vatican
6. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Chilean Cardinal Celestino Aós Braco:

STORYLINE:
Cardinals said they expect Pope Leo XIV to be a simple man and praised themselves for the quick Conclave, as they entered the Vatican city state on Friday to attend his first Mass as pontiff in the Sistine chapel.
"The first thing I expect from him is to be himself," said Cardinal Fernando Natalio Chomalí Garib, Archbishop of Santiago de Chile. "A humble man, who knows very well the church, he knows the Latin-American church. He has a strong closeness to the poor people."
Leo, the Chicago-born Augustinian missionary Robert Prevost, was elected Thursday afternoon as the 267th pope, overcoming the traditional prohibition against a pope from the United States.
In his first appearance to the world Thursday evening, the 69-year-old wore the traditional red cape of the papacy — which Francis had eschewed on his election in 2013 — suggesting a return to some degree of rule-following after Francis’ unorthodox pontificate.
But in naming himself Leo, after the 19th century social justice reformer pope and referring to some of Francis’ priorities, the new pope could also have wanted to signal a strong line of continuity: Another Leo in church history was Brother Leo, the 13th-century friar who was a great companion to St. Francis of Assisi, the late pope’s namesake.
The new pope was formerly the prior general, or leader, of the Order of St. Augustine, which was formed in the 13th century as a community of “mendicant” friars — dedicated to poverty, service and evangelization. Vatican News said Leo is the first Augustinian pope.
"133 men, completely different men, from all over the world who come to an agreement, despite being from 71 different countries, it is a miracle of the Holy Spirit," Garib added.
