Pope’s successor assumes post in Argentina

Argentine Mario Poli has been inaugurated as the new archbishop of Buenos Aires, taking over the post held by Jorge Bergoglio before he became Pope Francis. Poli, 65, was named to the position by Francis in late March and Vatican envoy Emil Paul Tscherrig welcomed him in the name of the pope in yesterday’s ceremony at the capital’s metropolitan cathedral, saying the pontiff ‘accompanies us from Rome.’ Argentine President Cristina Fernandez, who’s in Peru, could not attend the ceremony.
