White smoke! We have a Pope!

They’ve actually announced that all three top papal candidates will be combined to be pope.
A Human Centi-Pope, if you will.

Scola looks most papal to me.

As Larry the Cardinal Guy said, “git er’ done”

You’re assuming I looked at the list instead of randomly focusing on a word from **Tom Scud’s **post. :stuck_out_tongue:

You’d think someone would have taken Pope Jesus by now.

Or would that seem a bit stuck up?

A name you can trust-Pope Judas.

May the blessings of the Holy Spirit descend upon and remain with the new Pope forever, and with my brothers and sisters in the Roman Catholic church.

Bless my four-year-old daughter. On being told by my wife about the new pope she declared “It’s daddy!”

So I guess I’m to be Pope Daddy I. Papa Papa, as it were.

Here we go…

Who? Francis?

From Argentina?

It’s Cardinal Bergoglio.
He’ll be Pope Francis.

In nomine Eris, in Principia Discordiae, please treat him right.

Francisco! That’s fun to say!

I think I said in another thread I thought it odd there had never been a Pope Francis. Huh.

Aw, I could have had money on that.

I wish to claim first use of the phrase “Lighten up, Francis” in this context.

Don’t cry for me Argentina!

Nobody’s even had the chutzpah to name himself Peter II, never mind Jesus.

Heh. Bergoglio’s Wikipedia page already redirects to “Pope Francis”.

Francis sounds like a reformer name. St. Francis is definitely not a pompous and portentous name.

A Jesuit. Very interesting.

He looks older than Benedict. He also looks kinda of severe. And I think he has a sense of humor.
