The new pontiff, the Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina, is taking the name Pope Francis.

I hate the whole new name thing, Pope Jorge or Pope Mario is so much better

Even at 76, he could conceivably remain Pope for 10 or more years.

While I consider myself a non-practicing Catholic these days, my Pope is still John Paul II.

Still hoping for a corner box full-size from Bowen.

I'm just glad Obama wasn't named the new Pope. He's already won a peace prize so being the new Pope wouldn't have been that shocking.
