The Jesuits have elected a Latin American as their new leader, breaking a tradition
of European heads dating back to their foundation in 1540.
The Society of Jesus chose Arturo Sosa Abascal, 67, of Venezuela
in a ballot on Friday to replace Adolfo Nicolas of Spain, who is retiring.

It is the largest order of priests and brothers in the Catholic Church.
The Jesuits' leader wears the simple black vestments of a regular priest.
The clothes give the leader the unofficial title of the "Black Pope" !
