NEW POPE! HOLLA! If you are anything like yr Wonkette, you've just spent the last couple hours refreshing Twitter, or the NPR website, or both, without actually really knowing why you were paying so much attention to who was going to lead a religion that you are probably not a part of. We cannot explain this either!
<i>&ldquo;Perhaps he didn&rsquo;t have the courage of other priests, but he never collaborated with the dictatorship,&rdquo; Adolfo Perez Esquivel, who won the 1980 Nobel Peace Prize for documenting the junta&rsquo;s atrocities, said Thursday. &ldquo;Bergoglio was no accomplice of the dictatorship. He can&rsquo;t be accused of that,&rdquo; Perez Esquivel told Radio de la Red in Buenos Aires.</i>
I&#039;m sorry, Rebecca, but &quot;He wasn&#039;t a collaborator, he just let the junta get on with things&quot; is a reasonable description of the man on the street, but not really a ringing endorsement for a Pope.
Conventional wisdom ... and the unbroken chronology of the popes&#039; reigns. No room for a Pope Joan, unless you think John XI was a bit on the flouncy side.
THAT would be so awesome.
Good call on the &quot;health&quot; thing, anonymous Dude, because cpac.

I don&#039;t think they let you ever become a &quot;former Jesuit&quot;....once in, you are in forever and ever amen.
Since the newz sucks so bad, they need to give us something to look at.
St. Peter wasn&#039;t exactly born a Catholic.

An iPad or (non-hipster) Surface might be a nice solution, if you&#039;ve got the shekels.
over 400 pope comments? geez, you&#039;d think a republican got caught in diapers or something.
No more sneaking around in disguise, thanks to the &quot;secret staircase&quot;!
Hasn&#039;t happened in 2,000 years -- why should it happen now?
Next pope will be a mere sympathizer. It takes them a while to gradually change things -- this is why the R.C.C. is always 300 years behind the times.

Yeah, but did they charge them the round-trip fare?
I don&#039;t know about Japan, but look at who did the out-kicking in those other places: the R.C.C.
We&#039;re halfway there already.
