New Pope Announced

IMO his age is irrelevant, it's his morals, ideas, plans and conviction to bring change that is important.

A more modest man at the top could be a very good thing and a relatively short conclave must mean he had plenty of backers.

Hopefully he can open up the church to show it does still have a place and can move with modern society and be open about past short comings of both priests an policy.

Time will tell!
 
It would've been a refreshing change if he'd worn blue shoes instead. He could've came out onto the balcony, slipped a pair of shades on and...

It's one for the money
Two for the show...

The first Rock 'n Roll Pope

Uh huh
 
I hope he has a long and happy time at the top.

A few good changes wont go amiss!

Here here, I'm sure he'll do a great job.

Absolutely spot on, the church does need to modernise for sure and I'm sure he'll have plenty aides wanting to through their tuppence in with ideas.

Interesting times ahead, I hope he pays a visit to Scotland like his 2 predecessors but I doubt he will.
 
As long as he respects the rights of people who don't believe and doesn't try to force his superstitions on the rest of us, I wish him every success.

If only!
