Pope Francis has said he wants "a poor Church, for the poor" following his election as head of the world's 1.2bn Catholics on Wednesday.
He said he chose the name Francis after 12th Century saint Francis of Assisi, who represented "poverty and peace".
He urged journalists to get to know the Church with its "virtues and sins" and to share its focus on "truth, goodness and beauty".
Pope Francis takes over from Benedict XVI, who abdicated last month.
The former Argentine cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, 76, was the surprise choice of cardinals meeting in Rome to choose a new head of the Church.
In a news conference at the Vatican, he said he had been inspired to take the papal name Francis by a Brazilian colleague who embraced him and whispered "don't forget the poor" when it was announced that he had been elected Pope.
He said he immediately thought of St Francis of Assisi, saying the Italian founder of the Franciscan Order had represented "poverty and peace".
