PRAYERS have been said at Roman Catholic schools across the island to mark the choosing of a new Pope.

Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, was elected 266th Pope in the fifth ballot on the second day of voting at the conclave. He will be known as Pope Francis.

'He is usually seen on the bus in Argentina and is a very friendly man,' said Mr Kilpatrick.
