Re: Guess the pope


What about name? I suspect John, Paul or Pius. Not John Paul for sure and don't think another Benedict. Could be some older classic like Clement, Gregory or... Leo.

Re: Guess the pope


Well that was fast, and didn't see that coming.
Besides the first ever combination name John Paul, this is first new pope name for thousand years.

Re:


New name line, same boring bigotry: he's against gay marriage, gay adoption blah blah! Boring men in white dresses with cream satin sashes shouldn't be commenting on the way other people live their lives.

Re:


All the commentator could say about him apart from the fact that he's 76 years old, and Argentinian, was that "he's a simple man who takes the bus". All the opulence sickened me, and the sad deluded thousands waiting in the rain and freezing cold made me angry. What happened to "Thou shalt have no other Gods but me"?? This man is treated like an idol - a big no no in the church. Although I think RCs also "worship" statues of the Virgin Mary ... it's all just crazy.
Quite like the name Francis though - if I have to listen to it for the next however many years, it's better than Benedict!

Re:


He supposedly lives in a flat in Buenos Aires but came from "his summer home" to the conclave. If he is too humble for the ostentation of his clerical palace, then why didn't he just decline. It's another Mother Teresa "humility" farce.

Re: Guess the pope


O ye of little faith.
I do believe he's better than most other options.
- Francis of Assisi had some good ideas
- at least speaks for the poor; some of catholics might listen
- same for humility
- he's a jesuit, of a more intellectual order
- American, if from Italian family


Anyway, in case you didn't notice, thousand million people just got a new leader.
His name is Xi Jinping.

Yep, and his appointment will have more impact on my life. I've just had my fill of pious hypocrites, enough to last me like forever.
