How come his name is Jorge but he's known as Francis? Is this just how the Papal thing works?

ya ... they have to choose from a list of names ... it's why so many were named pope john paul ...

Umm.... Only 2 Pope's were named John Paul, and they were back to back seeing as the first one died only 33 days into his papacy, and so the second called himself that in respect to the first.

I made it home in time to see and enjoy. I'm not Catholic but adore tradition and history.
I also loved seeing the square filled with the faithful praying with him.
It is extremely uplifting seeing dedicated people much like faithful fans at a Pearl Jam concert.
Even if I didn't like their music being amongst the faithful would touch the heart and impress,
and help me to hear and understand the word.
Welcome Pope Francis

A quote from Pope Francis:
"Let’s not be naïve. We’re not talking about a simple political battle; (marriage equality) is a destructive pretension against the plan of God. We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God."

Nice to see that the Church is working to evolve with the changing times. :roll:

Fuck the Catholic Church.
