If you have a subscription to The Tablet, then we’re sure you are probably well aware that a new Pope has been elected. In fact, if you’re anything like us you would have switched over to BBC News last night to get a sneak peek of Jorge Mario Bergoglio standing at the balcony overlooking St. Peter’s Square in Rome.
