"Bergoglio" sounds like an Italian name too. What do we know about this guy?
Well he hates teh gay for one thing. He said that gay couples being allowed to adopt was a form of discrimination against children.
Well isn't hating teh gay always a requirement??

Well since Argentina is the most gay friendly nation I figured maybe slight chance he likes them but now
Meet the new boss and according to BBC

Pope Francis

    Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio on 17 December 1936 (age 76) in Buenos Aires, of Italian descent
    Ordained as a Jesuit in 1969
    Studied in Argentina and Germany
    Became Cardinal of Buenos Aires in 1998
    Seen as orthodox on sexual matters but strong on social justice
  Same as he old boss
Also he's not really as Latino as people would have liked

Hence my "another old white guy" reaction.

Of course. But I liked the "discrimination against kids" angle.

I like that he took the name Francis. I can't wait to tell my dad; his middle name is Francis and he haaaaaates it.

Oh, and he's a Jesuit? Jack Chick must be plotzing right now.

He looks Popey.
I am an old man, and I've seen many problems, most of which never happened.

Congratulation Catholic Church!  You have now moved into the 2nd Century!
Whenever I hear a politician speaking strongly for or against abortion, all I hear is, "I have no idea how to fix the economy!"

Are people really that surprised that the new pope is pretty much like the last pope?
That's like saying well I hope the new Darth takes it a little easier on the whole dark side thing.

Well, I don't know if Benedict took the bus to work, made his own meals, visited slums or ever made a speech lambasting others in the upper echelons of the Church for living ostentatiously and forgetting that Jesus bathed lepers and ate with prostitutes.
Quote from: Jordan Duram
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

Can we stop calling the pope a darth, and saying that they belong to the dark side, it's insulting to the sith.

Congratulation Catholic Church!  You have now moved into the 2nd Century!

At least this guy says that gays should be accepted with respect and kindness. He just REALLY doesn't want them around children or being allowed to spread.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.

Better than trying to kill them all.

Edit: Either way, dude is coming into office at 76. If he lives as long as John Paul II, he'll probably be dead within the decade.
