Summary/Abstract: The unexpected withdrawal of Pope Benedict XVI (28th of February 2013) and the election of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio (12th of March 2013) created very quickly a new era for ecumenism and provided a greately different backdrop from the gloom of the past. Although nobody could have predicted these events, it offered an opportunity for the gathered ecclesiologists and ecumenists to reflect on the first year or so Francis’ time as Pope.
