| Looks like another ultra-conservative choice that won't really help the church move forward. No surprise. |

+1 Lots of old white men up there. What? No black Catholics? No Asian Catholics? |

Lol! Intolerance? The Catholic Church is full of intolerance. |

| He is Jesuit. Jesuits tend to be liberal. |

| At least he doesn't look like Evil Personified and apparently has some decent views and not a complete asshole. Yeah, my bar isn't that high. |

One of the most influential cardinals is from Ghana. Another from Philipines. Get your facts straight. Biggest growth of the church is in Africa. |

| There were a few black "contenders" and a Filipino was one of CNN's top bets. Glad it's a non-European... (and a Jesuit!) seems a step in the right direction, which is pretty much all you can hope for if you think the church is too conservative. |

Maybe he'll give a shit how many children were ruined by those evil priests that the Vatican chose to protect for all those years?
One can hope... I had to laugh when they were babbling on about how simple he is and a man of the people. I have a feeling being the Pope and living in the Vatican MIGHT change a guy...you know, just a little?

True. I was just hoping for someone born AFTER WWII. |

Yes, I know that. So, why has there never been a black pope? And why, amongst ALL those faces standing next to the pope, we're there. I people of color? |
