Chosen.

White smoked from the Vatican. The new Pope has been chosen but not named yet. I hope he is a younger man.

Re: Chosen.

Younger - you mean under 80?
Perhaps they'll have chosen someone in touch with the real world!

Re: Chosen.

Sorry Mall I would feel a lot happier if all the cardinals went up in a puff of smoke

I feel they are hypocrites presiding over an outdated group which outlaws contraception when it is clearly very necessary to any reasonable person while turning a blind eye to sexual abuse.

No doubt they find it necessary to maintain the status quo because they have an excellent quality of life and to hell with everyone else.

Re: Chosen.

Good points Meg - I have come to feel this way, the Pope and the church has lost respect from me....

Re: Chosen.

I'm with Meg on this too. A bunch of hypocrites.

Re: Chosen.

I agree with what Meg has said! The popes in the past have all been far too old. I think the most popular one was Pope John Paul (think that was his name).

They need to move into the 21st Century.

Re: Chosen.

I see there's a new Pope been chosen a wee while ago. White Smoke was belching out the Lum.
I wonder who it is

Re: Chosen.

We have lift off!, Praise the Lord.

Re: Chosen.

Every one is entitled to their respective point of view of course.

I don't agree with all the church teaches, nor do I agree with the cover ups regarding abuse within the Church.

Re: Chosen.

I have just seen this on the internet Argentine Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio
Pope Francis the first
