I'm still not sure who it will be, but I'm anxious because I believe it's the last pope.

My only guess is that it will be a European. I've heard of support of a Canadian and an African Cardinal but they seem to be long shots to me.

House- you referont To thé "black pope" thing?

I'm guessing Father Guido Sarducci--a breath of fresh air--young, articulate, and innovative.  Just the kind of pope needed!  And I would point out that there is no requirement that a new pope be chosen from among the College of Cardinals.

 

Read the breaking news :

Excerpt:

 

 

<<<"Sarducci claims he wants to be a different kind of Pope—one who promotes tolerance and progressive values. His first priority is to formally bless the gay community in a spectacular service with Ru Paul as the Mistress of Ceremonies and it is rumored that The Village People will reunite for a special appearance.

 

Sarducci’s second priority is women’s rights and he plans to disperse free birth control for seven days and seven nights in St. Peter’s Square, much to the chagrin of the American Republican Party.

 

Sarducci tells me he has big plans for the future of the Catholic Church and though he chooses to surprise the world as he unveils his master plan, he hinted that he plans to change the dress code utilizing some of Hollywood’s “most flamboyant” designers.

 

“The world ain’t seen nothin’ yet,” Sarducci proclaimed as he excused himself and left to set an example as a new version of what he thinks “the Pope should really be about.”

 

It’s a new era and Sarducci will lead the way.">>>

 

Here's your Man!

 

 

Veep, I'm referring to Garabandal. Have you watched or read about Our Lady appearing in Garabandal Spain ? I'll try and put up a link :-)

News?  White smoke or black smoke is the only news we will get until it is decided.  When it drags out past a month, I might start paying attention.

I just saw on TV a Pope has been elected.

Yeah, I did too.  That didn't take long.

I'll save you some trouble; here is some basic propaganda:

Wow was I wrong.

Congrats to the Catholics on their new Pope.

 

I hope he is progressive and sees the importance of condom use for health safety reasons. Also stem cell research. The Pope has the power to make a huge difference in peoples lives.

I was wrong too, Red Baron! So was upside, PTL- although the dress code could use a little pizzazz;-) Could not be happier about this wonderful news. Pope Francis is a shocker in that he is a Jesuit, and South American- but, learning about him, I love him already!! Jank- as far as progressive, no, he is staunchly conservative. Blessed be God forever!!

Good thing we didn't have money or beer riding on this:-)

Dang! I woulda thought Father Guido had a lock on the thing!

Yeah, I know!! Father guido would really have been awesome- I just don't think we are ready for that degree of #charisma yet- maybe next time.. Jank- been reading heavily about our new Pontiff- seems he may be open to barrier birth control for disease prevention. So there's an incline of progress;-) The more I read, the more I like the guy. As a person. As Pope, obviously I respect and honor him as chosen by God through His cardinals. But as a man, his history is quite fascinating. I wonder if the argentines will warm up to Catholicism again, now that "their guy" has the job. Will be interesting to follow!!

.

If the history of all this was followed from the last conclave we should've

at least thought this could happen.

Yeah, I guess you're right, Vic. In hindsight it's pretty clear. Now all this ugly stuff surfacing about his possible involvement in the dirty war? He seems to be a humble and holy man. I admit I'm not very familiar with Argentine history, but it will be very interesting to see if his homeland embraces him, and reembraces Catholicism. Is be interested in upside and Nathan's opinions on this, as I know they are much more well versed in history than I. Gentlemen?

Thanks upside

Veep, I was hoping they'd choose you.  If you were not an Estrogen-American, you'd be qualified, don't ya know.  AND you'd be a d**n sight better than even Francis.

 

Pope Franky.

I was hoping that too, you crazy nut, you! But you would not have liked my policies;-);-)

At least you might have taken my calls.

 

DF

That I would have. Probably given you my direct line too. But, alas, I am not qualified by gender, age, geography, vocation nor holiness. So call me maybe.
