Re: Chosen.

He seems to have been living a modest life style. He moved out of the palace and into a flat, were he has been cooking for himself and refused to be driven to the Vatican, choosing to use public transport. He won't be allowed to do that now.

He is a believer in social justice, so lets hope he can make a difference. Time will tell.
He is also a Jesuit, which means none of the doctrines are likely to change.

I think you come to sort religion out for yourself and choose which way is best for you.I am glad its all done and dusted but I wouldnt have their life at all.

Re: Chosen.

I 'was' a fan of Pope John Paul 2nd - Now my interest has been re-ignited, I like the fact he is a humble man, compassionate, maybe he will bring good worthwhile change - I hope so....

Re: Chosen.

Yet another ancient relic who should have been pensioned off years ago. He also doesn't believe in contraception, divorce and abortion so is keeping the catholic church in the dark ages. The catholic church sickens me but thankfully I am an atheist so can happily ignore the whole farce that it is.

I feel sorry for the poor souls who believe in it all. They are to be pitied.
