    Lighten up Francis!

    I just wanted to be the first here to use that line.

    The new Pope:

    Sounds like an Italian whose family immigrated to La Argentina. I still predict the Limey's will keep the Falklands.

    I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

    The first description I heard..."staunch defender of the orthodoxy". I'm sure that would be received with mixed reviews by proglics (did I just coin that?).

      Within minutes of the smoke puffs, St. Peter's Square was packed with rejoicing crowds. "I'm very excited. I've been waiting four hours for this moment," said Lucia Carbona, 45, teacher from Florence.
      That's awesome.

      Doesn't it usually take longer? I seem to recall it normally taking several days if not a week.

          Phew. Good to know. I was worried that the Vatican was on fire.

            Apparently the new pope needs to lighten up about gay marriage.

              So, both the Italians get a full-blooded Italian Pope and the Americas finally get their Pope, too.

              Everyone is happy!

                Didn't realize this dude was the first Jesuit to ever get the gig. Pretty cool.

                  Neither did I. I am surprised at the little factiod

                  I may be small, but I'm slow.

                    I suggest that all new Pope Francis posts be placed here.

                    In that spirit, while Pope Francis may not be down with capitalism, he is apparently down with atheists (LINK).

                      I am digging Pope Francis.

                      "Let us think of when slavery was accepted or the death penalty was allowed without any problem. So we grow in the understanding of the truth. Exegetes and theologians help the church to mature in her own judgment. Even the other sciences and their development help the church in its growth in understanding. There are ecclesiastical rules and precepts that were once effective, but now they have lost value or meaning. The view of the church’s teaching as a monolith to defend without nuance or different understandings is wrong."

                        Wow, those are some fairly strong concessions to science and rigid dogma, in general. He has been a refreshing and inspiring religious leader.

                        He and Dieter U should team up and do a podcast.

                            Pope Francis prays with and blesses severely disfigured man. This guy has single-handedly improved Bruce R. McConkie's designation of the Catholic Church to: mediocre and obnoxious.

                            I told him he was a goddamn Nazi Stormtrooper.
