DALE!

 

[Joel Was Right]

I read that the last Pope before the end of the world will be name Peter. So if he chooses that as his new name...

 

[Trojita]

Beer Goggles Pope.

 

[BertramCooper]

Jorge Mario Bergoglio

 

[Trevelyon]

That's not the new pope, that's just the guy announcing the name of the new pope =P

Announcement of announcement! The trend that keeps on giving.

 

[Dalauz]

dios mio (?) the new pope is from my town, direct line to god here I come

 

[Alligatorjandro]

We need a "Merican in there!

 

[The Elite]

Pope Chosen.

[GungHo]

His views on same sex marriage are quite... regressive.

[jmdajr]

[bjaelke]

MESSI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post #666....creepy

It's Diego Maradona. Hand of God.

 

[Cudder]

Do you think the frontrunners that didn't win are like "Fuck this stupid fucking shit!" in their head?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Boo for the Nintendo mascot pontiff.

 

[Batman]

I read that the last Pope before the end of the world will be name Peter. So if he chooses that as his new name...

The guy isn't black so the prophecy is not true as of now.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Better be a Rosario fan.

 

[Wes]

Pope Francis the First.

A new name to signify first Latin American Pope?

 

[Hari Seldon]

He's a Jesuit... this is a good thing!

Probably as liberal was we could expect.

Yeah the first Jesuit Pope ever! I didn't realize that. Jesuits are the liberal wing of the Catholics.

 

[Jb]

It sickens me seeing that crowd deify those old cretins.

You have a weak stomach. Also they don't deify him.

 

[Brinbe]

Better than I had ever expected. Pope Francis

 

[ComputerMKII]

Francis I, you said?

 

[Talon]

Oh, sweet, he's Jesuit.

Jesuits rock. Said the Protestant.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

British Catholics are gonna have to choose between God and Country when Falklands War II starts.

 

[AlexBasch]

He's 76 though. Didn't they want a younger pope? I can't see him ruling over the Catholic church in ten, heck, five years from now. :|

 

[CrazyDude]

The guys parents are both Italian.

 

[alr1ght]

76 years old. He's in for the long haul.

 

[jett]

Jorge Mario Bergoglio

He reminds me of Chespirito

 

[paully]

Another guy who's old as fuck...smh

 

[Kurtofan]

François 1er is back.

 

[Magni]

He has affirmed church teaching on homosexuality, though he teaches the importance of respecting individuals who are gay. He strongly opposed legislation introduced in 2010 by the Argentine Government to allow same-sex marriage. In a letter to the monasteries of Buenos Aires, he wrote: "Let's not be naive, we're not talking about a simple political battle; it is a destructive pretension against the plan of God. We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God." He has also insisted that adoption by gays and lesbians is a form of discrimination against children. This position received a rebuke from Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who said the church's tone was reminiscent of "medieval times and the Inquisition"

Same old same old.

 

[Joico]

Coming from a Jesuit high school, I am elated! It is a welcome change for the Catholic church. CBS has some great coverage right now.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Pope Francis the First.

A new name to signify first Latin American Pope?

Could be a hint, St Francis wanted to reform the Church.

 

[Freaky Fred]

I love that new pope smell.

 

[Bombadil]

i swear to god there is no different between north korean and catholic speeches

The difference is subtle, but it's there. When a catholic speech is over, the audience gets to go home and do whatever they choose. When a North Korean speech is over, the audience heads back to the camps and digs up their newly dead relatives for lunch.

 

[Impeccable]

76? See you all again in a handful of years.

 

[Ironmask]

He's a Jesuit... this is a good thing!

Probably as liberal was we could expect.

I agree, also the name Francesco is linked to the Saint Francesco d'Assisi, leader of the poor people and the minimalism life

 

[LordCanti]

They can make up their own names? First a retirement and now this.

 

[PBY]

Same old same old.

Wasn't going to change.

 

[Trurl]

I like the name Francis at least.

Same ol' shit. Oh well.

 

[pigeon]

Wow. To modernize the face of the organization, they elected a Hispanic guy, while keeping all of his policies identical to the last, deeply unpopular guy.

Why does that seem so familiar?

 

[Santerestil]

Another old man. What were you expecting?

 

[Diprosalic]

google his name now and look at the amount of results. do the same in a month.

 

[CrazyDude]

76 years old. He's in for the long haul.

Yeah the guy is like one year younger the Benedict was.

 

[krypt0nian]

Same old same old.

Yup, sucks cock in seminary school, hates gays on the job. =(

 

[Kazerei]

Pope Francis, eh? Fun name, I guess.

 

[TCRS]

 

[Something Wicked]

Argentinian?

He's gonna bring back the Armanda. Britain will fall this time!
