Argentina is basically a European country trapped in South America. I think close to 90% self identify as European descent.

Whats the criteria you use to say they are European? besides soccer...

They are from South America period, nothing bad with that I haven't heard any argentino complaining about it. Is a good move to have a pope from SA pope as is going to be (eventually) to have a African one.

I'd love to know what he was thinking in the minutes before he spoke, I couldn't explain the expression on his face. Nervous, perhaps.

Religion expert Frédéric Lenoir just said Francis I would 'surprise us a lot' and 'change many things in the protocol'.

I thought he was speaking Italian.

What will be his first pope meal?

Why the fuck didn't CNN's lead commentator do the most basic of fucking research on Papal history?

"He has affirmed church teaching on homosexuality, though he teaches the importance of respecting individuals who are homosexual. 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 homosexuals 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"

Atleast he respects me as an individual I guess, could be worse.

The souls of children abused by priests I imagine.

Personally I am very happy that we finally have a south american Pope.

Viva Francisco I !!!

Damn, I want a shirt with that on.

The bitch (for the lucky ones who don't know her, it's the Argentinian president) is totally going to talk on TV today, fuck.

Hopefully I'll be on the gym and won't hear a single word she says. I don't want my brain cells to die, and listening to her is a slow and painful torture.

Which is just compensating bs. They are latinos whether they like it or not.

 

[gutter_trash]

how many languages does he speak? I won't respect a pope who can't speak more than 5 languages

CNNs coverage has been terrible. They said the new pope would take the name Bergolio. Um.

Even as an atheist, I appreciate the gravity of this event.

Religious institutions should be respected, as long as they can live with our views as well.

In before 'Eggs Benedict'.

Eggs Francisco is a thing btw.

Same old same old.

Argentina is basically a European country trapped in South America.

I guess it makes sense considering both Europe's and Argentina's economies are in the shitter.

 

[xenist]

Which is just compensating bs. They are latinos whether they like it or not.

The one Argentinian guy I spoke to about this definitely felt more European than Latino.

I think its cool to watch no matter your views.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Francisco the first? So he just chose a new name? Stick with the classics. Throw a number at the end bigger than 'I'.

Pfft.

LOL at a spectator being interviewed on CNN. "I think he'll be better, he looks more.....human"

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

First pope from Latin America. Very good. Next pope should be African.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Languages: Besides his native Spanish, Bergoglio also speaks Italian and German.
