He's 76 ... Good to see they went with a youthful cardinal
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?!?!
That's how we Argentineans roll... :corn:
I assumed the new Papal Retirement Plan they just enacted was just to good to pass up. Work for a few years and then... New condo, personal secretary/night nurse, new shoes, etc.
Nicolas Maduro, president in exercise of Venezuela, says that the late President Chavez influenced Jesus to pull some strings in the choosing of Bergoglio...
... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...
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.
Lighten up, Francis.
Lee Harvey, you are a madman!

Oh man I adored Stripes (also loved seeing Sean Young in her sane days :P )
How come his name is Jorge but he's known as Francis? Is this just how the Papal thing works?
Disappointed the Canadian dude didn't get picked ... Not that I know his qualifications ... It's just the only thing I like more then Canadians is poking fun of Canadians ... Hosers, eh, take off
Nice to see a youthful pick.
Nice to see a pick that can't be associated with the Nazi party (side note: which country is associated with harboring Nazi war criminals???)

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

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.

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.

After less than 24 hours of deliberation, the College of Cardinals has elected Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio from Argentina to become the Roman Catholic Church’s 266th leader, who will be the Church’s first-ever South American pope and who will be henceforth known as Pope Francis. Here are some facts about the new pope:

Number Of People Who Don’t Give A Shit What He Thinks About Anything: Approximately 5.8 billion
Spouse: Isabel Alba Bergoglio
Children: Rebecca (b. 2002), Timothy (b. 2006)
Main Goals For Papacy: Keep Catholic people Catholic, convince other people to become Catholic
Old: Yes
White: Yes
Women’s Rights: Nah
Ability To Walk Up Steps Without Help: Not great
Highest-Charting Single:“Wanna Do Ya Girl (But tha Lord is My Love),” 1989, Arista Records

What He Thinks Heaven Is Like: Mix of clouds and astroturf
Outrage Over Sexual Abuse In Catholic Church: Yeah, sure
