I wonder who it is! They have chosen!

When the white smoke comes out, this is what we get:

Habemus Papam!

Cardinal Bergolio from Argentina

Francis.

Any of you faggots touches my stuff, I'll kill you.

Summo cum gaudio Nuntio, Habemus Papam!

Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, a Jesuit.

according to the Washington post:

Quote:

His conservative leanings on doctrinal and spiritual issues are widely seen as in keeping with the legacy of John Paul. He opposes abortion and supports celibacy among priests, and he has called for tightening the church’s hierarchical structure to ease internal dissent.

So. More of the same.

Previous Pope - Hitler youth. New Pope - from Argentina.

Coincidence? Yes.

In 2011, the Guardian said we dodged a bullet when Bergoglio wasn't picked in the last election.

Quote:

He recounts how the Argentinian navy with the connivance of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, now the Jesuit archbishop of Buenos Aires, hid from a visiting delegation of the Inter-American Human Rights Commission the dictatorship's political prisoners. Bergoglio was hiding them in nothing less than his holiday home in an island called El Silencio in the River Plate. The most shaming thing for the church is that in such circumstances Bergoglio's name was allowed to go forward in the ballot to chose the successor of John Paul II. What scandal would not have ensued if the first pope ever to be elected from the continent of America had been revealed as an accessory to murder and false imprisonment

Another article, with pro and con descriptions of his relationship with the Argentine government.

It made so many people happy I suppose it doesn't matter what a few people think about him. I am not catholic. I just enjoy the happiness of others.

Supposedly any Roman Catholic in good standing is eligible but the reality is it has to be a cardinal. I'll bet there is dirt, which can be summoned with short notice, on any of them.
All hail Grumpy Cat.

I see white smoke coming out of Three Mile Island 1 every day. Does that mean Middletown PA has their own Pope?

I like the crazy system the Buddhists use where then make a kid identify old stuff like eye glasses or toys that a previous Dalai Lama may have had. Much better then the RC way!
