  • He will be called Frank - which is Francis in Argentenian.

  • I went bold and predicted they'd go with a really old white guy.

    Nailed it!

  • After all the media hype about going young, they went with a 76 year old?!?!?!

    Talk about a bunch of idiots. Have you ever talked to a 76 year old that wasn't senile or delusional? Even if you have, the chances are only going to increase each year. By 80 it's guaranteed he's senile & delusional. I wouldn't want a 20 year old boss or a 80 year old boss.

    Thanks for the old dude. I'm sure we will get a great 4 years out of this one til we have to replace him cause he can't wipe his own butt

    You sir don't understand that Catholics can find a reaaon to party for any occasion, and new Popes don't come around every day.

    A Pope named Frank is a first. I'll drink to that.

    The first non-European Pope since the 700s. Shots on me ( and I haven't been to church in two years! )

    St. Patrick's Day? Don't get any better than that. That sure as hell ain't a Muslim holiday you know.

    Ever heard of Mardi Gras's? That ain't for Baptist.

    Hindus sure as hell don't drink alcohol at mass, but Catholics do.

    Gett'n the hint my friend?

    That you have to be drunk to believe anything the catholic church tells you?

    Sine Missione -- Never be a spectator for unfairness or stupidity, argue for arguments sake; the grave will give plenty of time for silence.

    In the grand scheme of things, he's supposedly able to communicate with god, so he'll probably be able to hide the senility better than most.
