    very surprised at how quickly they came to a majority decision

    as a Catholic, the anticipation is exciting

    it would be cool if they picked the fillipino guy ... i can't imagine anyone but an old crusty white guy as a pope ... :)

    I think ex-pope's resignation has been on the cards for a while thus giving time for the cardinals to have a bit of a think and reach a consensus quicker. Still 5 sessions...

    Call me cynical but I can't really see one or the other making any real difference to the catholic church, how it behaves and how it is perceived. Still think 'nasties' will be swept under the carpet as usual, progress will not be at the top of their agenda, etc.

    If he clicks his heels three times does he go back home?

    The corruption in the Vatican is so thick, a new person at the top will likely make no difference. Much like the U.S. govt.

    I'm hoping it is former Cardinal Ozzie Smith.

    And then you see the footage of him doing a back flip to enter the balcony to be introduced to the awaiting public.

    Catholism- richest religion, poorest follwers riddled with rampant sexual molestation and oppression of women (women cant be Pope, Cardinals, Bishops or even Priests).

    no. thank. you.

    Well it's about time, considering Maradonna has the hand of god attached to him.

    The CNN e-mail came in with this...

    He is the first South American pope. Until last year, Bergoglio was the archbishop of Buenos Aires before stepping down because of his age. He is 76.

    Too old to act as Archbishop, but not for Pope?!?!

    well ... as expected ... any minute chance the new pope would bring a fresh point of view on homosexuality or abortion or contraception can now officially be eliminated ... :roll:

    That church will never change ... I just wish they'd quit say 1.2 billion Catholics ... I doubt even 1/2 that number are even practicing Catholics.

    pope francis' first words:

    The name's Francis Soyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I'll kill you. And I don't like nobody touching my stuff. So just keep your meat-hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. Also, I don't like nobody touching me. Now, any of you homos touch me, and I'll kill you.

    In fact, this guy who stood up against gay marriage, you could expect that, but also he said that the missing during the coup from 76 to 83 didn't exist

    that's not true, we put them inside barbed wires in small ranchs... just like the American way...

    (for real, check the mapuches, qoms, tobas culture and how the government treat them)

    They went to confession after though so it was all forgiven.
