This band sucks.

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;39901989]What doesn't make any sense to me is how he's known as being very tolerable to gays when he actively opposed all gay-marriage legislation in Argentina.[/QUOTE] Because biblical tradition and belief =/= personal opinions.

[QUOTE=Mr. N;39902035]For a pope at least. In the end they are all Catholics so.[/QUOTE] and yet catholics possesses the greatest population of Christian branches, soo...

At least his speech had some humor in it, when he said that even a cardinal from the other side of the world would be something special.

[QUOTE=BaconMan_lol;39902046]why couldn't they pick a younger guy.[/QUOTE] its better the have an old guy, it means he'll die quicker

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;39901989]What doesn't make any sense to me is how he's known as being very tolerable to gays when he actively opposed all gay-marriage legislation in Argentina.[/QUOTE]They probably in mean in comparison to the other candidates; supporting gay marriage would be a quick recipe for expulsion from at least the higher ranks of the Church.

[QUOTE=redBadger;39902130]who cares?[/QUOTE] This single man has alot of power over 2.2 billion people

[QUOTE=VistaPOWA;39902016]Did that cardinal really pronounce Twitter as "thuthior"?[/QUOTE] The one that did the announcement or another one?

Holy shit the last non-European born pope was Pope Gregory III of 731. Born in Syria.

[QUOTE=redBadger;39902030]for a forum who doesn't give two shits about religion and is always trashing it, you guys sure care a lot about whose pope. The guy seems pretty decent. Anyones better then Benedict.[/QUOTE] Its because the Catholic church is an interesting establishment in the way that it runs and operates and stuff. Its genuinely interesting to watch even from the outside. That and Facepunch loves a good election.

[QUOTE=redBadger;39902130]who cares?[/QUOTE] About 1/7th of the globe. Nobody really. [editline]13th March 2013[/editline] Religious or not, the past few weeks have been history. These days will be in the books forever. Enjoy the fact you get to witness it.

It'd be one hell of a historical moment if he'd fall down the balcony

[QUOTE=redBadger;39902030]for a forum who doesn't give two shits about religion and is always trashing it, you guys sure care a lot about whose pope. The guy seems pretty decent. Anyones better then Benedict.[/QUOTE] He's one of the most powerful people in the world, why wouldn't we give a shit who is the pope? The last one went to Africa and tried to convince people to not use condoms, which would result in more needless deaths. [editline]13th March 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=redBadger;39902130]who cares?[/QUOTE] we do, now if you don't why are you posting here in the first place?

[QUOTE=BaconMan_lol;39902046]why couldn't they pick a younger guy.[/QUOTE] Younger males get molested

I wish he said "Don't cry for me, Argentina."

[QUOTE=smurfy;39901873]First pope from outside Europe in 1000 years (ever?)[/QUOTE] There have been popes from Roman Africa before, but at least 1000 years

Saw it live on Sky News, I thought it was funny when the reporter said what'd be really interesting is if the Pope retires again in a few years and we end up with 3 living popes at once.

Pope Francis! Francis is an incredibly powerful name, one of the most venerated saints is St. Francis.

-snip, fucked up timing-
