You got me there... I just thought it was already known who the new guy was, and got curious. But it won't keep me from my sleep. Would be good if it would be a black guy, for the sake of a multicultural world and battle against racism.

there he is! he seems delighted, he was close to the Pope, i assume he will go along the same conservative lines as John Paul the Great

There we go again... This implies you actually agree with his opposition against abortion, condom use, no important role for women in church, etc ??

I think it would not have done harm to chose a more progressive one this time for the sake of the whole world, religious and non-religious.
But then again, the new guy hasn't made any acts yet, so let's judge on him once we have some stuff to judge him on. Everyone deserves a fair chance

They elected the new one quite fast. Long long ago they once debated for approx 250 days, then they were locked up without food till the new Pope was chosen, and the new guy was presented to the outside world that very same evening
