My heart is exploding with Joy and Pride for the Election of François 1er, Thank Lord. I've just got my first benediction Urbi et Orbi and feel sooooo very HAPPY , just like about 2,2 Mds of Christians on Earth tonight!!!!
pisceslady7: (I notice there is not another female one then!) I am just pleased they can now get on with the job. This is an historical moment - election following resignation.
I do hope this pope helps to heal those that have been hurt by clergy. He has a HUGE job ahead of him.

You are absolutely right, we just have to wish him the best of luck because the Burden will be terribly heavy ! He appears to be serene in spite of his age, is incredibly cultured and great diplomate (Jesuit)
It appeared to me that he wants to interact directly with the public. Maybe he's just a regular guy and doesn't want to practice the formality of his position.
once again america got screwed. this time when 2 americans were overlooked by the church.i say it will be business as usual because the new pope won't fix the problems facing the church. i don't trust this man at all period. instead reforming the church it will stay the same as before. i am not catholic but was baptaized one and i feel it is time to have a pope that will clean out the church entirily.
