Here he is!

 

Looks like a nice man. Hes 78 years old :o 2 years away from being unable to vote.

wow 78 years old....

So hes delivering his speech...

 

"The cardinals have elected me as a simple humble worker of the lord

Im consoled by the fact that the lord knows how to act with sufficient instruments and most of all I trust in your prayers

something of the lord, trustworthy of his trust" hhaha hes going too fast.

 

Ok hes finished.... "Thank you."

 

Now hes going to give some blessing...

 

Yeah I think 78 is like WOAH too old.

yes. :) as some sites says it means the Catholic church will go on traditional style.. i mean more or less the same as John Paul II :idea2:

Yeah now hes doing his SNORE blessing part.

 

This guy looks really really old and unfit though. Will he even live for another decade?

Well thats that.

 

Hes heading inside for a cuppa. :cool:

well other popes just live a few years.. John Paul II is one who lives longer.. that's not usual on Popes (they get to be Pope older so they live a few years).. :/

vivaaaaaa il papaaaaa :cool:

Thats true Ari. Good luck to him anyway.

Joseph Ratzinger, now new Pope Benedict XVI

his age... probablysignifies that they dont want another pope to last 26 years.... but I am sure he will do a fine job.

some profecies says that only will be 2 popes.. :stunned: and if this new one won't live as long as JPII... :confused:

They picked him because they didnt want another "great" pope. they just wanted a filler while John Paul's legacy builds, or something stupid like that.

 

and yeah, it was quick. it usually takes a week to elect a new pope

you are right kyle.. i think they choose him too fast.. :stunned: they didn't want to think a lot... :dozey: ... lazy... :dozey:

Aww, isn't he cute? :P

new pope? :stunned:

Yes.

well may be but i don't think it's necesary to speak better with God.. :thinking:

 

anyways i always know as Pope JPII so it'll be difficult to me to adapt me to that other Pope.. :/

it already feels wierd..and I dont know why... :embarrased:

he's german.

First off, thanks to Reilly for the play-by-play. I enjoyed it thoroughly. :kiss:

 

When he came out to greet the crowd, Justine, I said the exact same thing! He did look cute! :lol:

 

And apparently, he's a super conservative guy who's said some really controversial things about homosexuality and abortion and stuff. Some people refer to him as a "bully"-type. Scary. But he looks cute. :lol:

 

And with regards to how fast he was elected, according to the news, he was always the front runner because he was very close to Pope John Paul.

 

I woke up to the news about the smoke. I thought it was so exciting. :)

you slept in :angry:

 

 

 

 

 

 

:thumbsup:

you slept in :angry:

 

 

 

 

 

 

:thumbsup:

 

I did. I deserved it. :cool:

he's german.

 

 

that not why it feels it weird.... i guess its been 26 yrs since I've seen another Pope.. I've know the other one all my life!

Hes got germs or something.

 

Maybe I misread.
