Found this in a lengthy, article from the previous Papal selection - the link to the entire piece follows. Very enlightening.

“JORGE MARIO BERGOGLIO. Archbishop of Buenos Aires, 69 years of age, born in Argentina to parents who had emigrated from the Italian region of Piemonte. Since 2002 he has continually been the Latin American cardinal with the best probability of being elected, in spite of never having lifted a finger to present himself as a candidate: in the conclave, it is Ratzinger’s party that would launch his candidacy. As a bishop, instead of sermons on social justice he preached to the
Argentines in the thick of economic disaster that they should put into practice the ten commandments and the Gospel beatitudes.”
