Lots of old white men up there. What? No black Catholics? No Asian Catholics?
One of the most influential cardinals is from Ghana. Another from Philipines. Get your facts straight. Biggest growth of the church is in Africa.
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?

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

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?

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.

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.

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