I may not be religious, but I find all this very very interesting and exciting.

78? Does that mean we will have to be going through this again in a few years?

Good god. I can't believe that I was here before everyone else. I didn't even hear about the white smoke, and suddenly I see a pope.

At least they didn't elect the crazy Nigerian guy.

Oh, fun fact for the day:

Ratzinger was a member of the Hitler Youth. I'm not kidding.

Wow, he doesn't look in much better health than the old Pope.

"Benedict" doesn't quite have the ring to it that "John Paul" did.

Rumor has it he can serve a killer egg breakfast though.

Why didn't it go to the Latino candidate? If I'm not mistaken, isn't the Latin American population Christianity's largest and most supportive constituency? Just curious.

Still, very cool to see this, congratulations to all the Christians here celebrating.

The new Pope has been admonished to watch out for the mustard; has demanded all the grape juice.

I don't like him.

Of course, that's just a first reaction

I've heard rumors that this Pope had ties to the Hitler youth movement. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

His first order of papal business is going to be putting on a rock concert at Ingolstadt.

By the way he looks, I'm not sure he'll last much longer than John Paul I did.

I was hoping they'd bypass him. At his age, it seems they wanted an interim Pope.
 
DeCypher44
2005-04-19 12:52:34 PM
I knew it would be him, but I am a little disappointed. He is a traditionalist. The Catholic Church needed a Pope that would progress the Church. Oh well. May God guide your decisions.

I give him about five years. Age 78, no way he's going 26 like John Paul II.

not bad, but at 78, i'd get some insurance for the old guy. Vatican Life or something.

How do they choose the pope name, anyway?
