Habemus Papam! Francisco I









The format for the announcement when a cardinal is elected Pope is:
Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum:
Habemus Papam!
Eminentissimum ac reverendissimum Dominum Georgium,
Dominum Sanctæ Romanæ Ecclesiæ Cardinalem Bergoglio
Qui sibi nomen imposuit Francisco I.
In English, it reads:
I announce to you a great joy:
We have a Pope!
The most eminent and most reverend Lord Jorge
Lord Bergoglio Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church 
 Who takes for himself the name of Francis I (thanks wiki for formula)
