While the Catholic Church has just elected Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Pope Francis in the papal election conclave, Showtime releases a promo for "The Borgias" season 3 aptly titled "A New Pope". It focuses on key character Rodrigo Borgia/ Pope Alexander VI, who is not really new as he has assumed the role since the first season of the show.

Jeremy Irons' Pope Alexander VI is described as a man who's not afraid to tackle all issues, such as diplomacy, morality and family values. Ironically, at the same time the scenes show him comitting sins, including burning a man alive, leading a war and having threesome.

The new installment of the period drama series will premiere Sunday, April 14 at 10 P.M. ET on Showtime.
