I'm hoping for a more modern name. Something like Pope Breezy D.

Wonder why it's taking so long to announce him.

I'm hoping it involves wacky hijinks.

Oh shit -- now it's there. I feel so stupid.

I was listening to 'Talk of the Nation' when they interrupted with this dumb news. Ken Rudin had said he heard a rumor that if it was orange smoke that bellowed up Carrot Top would be the appointee. Hahaha.

My co-worker just observed that the Cardinals need a better offense, not a new Pope.

If you believe the prophecy of St. Malachy, this will be the last pope. They can brick it up after.

Who is this "we?" I don't need a pope and I don't want a pope.

treacle 26
Yeah, I'm with tkc @25... who is this "we" you're talking about?
Ain't my pope. My pope's name is Pope Phabulous.

@25: I third that, and am proudly non-Catholic!!

@25
Well, it's a bit late now. If you didn't want one, you should have said so before they went to all this trouble.

Kids today. Always ungrateful. Next you'll be saying you don't want an archbishop.
