White Smoke!!

[bluehenbillk]

We have a new Pope.

[dbackjon]

We have a new Pope.

Popemania!

[Wedgebuster]

I find it ironic that smoke is the first indication. Mirrors must be second.

[bluehenbillk]

Where do you think the term "Holy Smoke" originated.......

I think the second symbol is supposed to be a pole.

[Rob Iola]

That was just on the vote to move the conclave to Colorado...

A new Pope is all fine and good, but what the Cardinals really need is an offensive line.

Habemus Kolbam.

[ASUMountaineer]

I guess the JETS found someone to take Tebow!

[93henfan]

So, did the new pope "come out" yet?

[ASUG8]

A few tweets on Fox's live feed that were funny:

Does anyone know what time it is in Vatican City right now?

Any bets on whether or not the Pope sees his shadow?

The pope will be announced by Ryan Seacrest....after this commercial break.

Do all the non-Pope loser Cardinals at least get a papal gift basket?

Its Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina!

[bluehenbillk]

Its Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina!

Nice! Europe cedes power! Good choice.

"Jorge Mario Bergoglio: The archbishop of Buenos Aires is the Argentine-born son of an Italian railway worker. Seen as a compassionate conservative, he reportedly came in second during the 2005 balloting that ultimately elected Benedict XVI. The 76-year-old Jesuit prizes simplicity and humility and would encourage priests to do shoe-leather evangelization, his biographer says."

Another Homophobic asshole.

He has affirmed church teaching on homosexuality, though he teaches the importance of respecting individuals who are gay. He strongly opposed legislation introduced in 2010 by the Argentine Government to allow same-sex marriage. In a letter to the monasteries of Buenos Aires, he wrote: "Let's not be naive, we're not talking about a simple political battle; it is a destructive pretension against the plan of God. We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God." He has also insisted that adoption by gays and lesbians is a form of discrimination against children. This position received a rebuke from Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who said the church's tone was reminiscent of "medieval times and the Inquisition".[4]

So he wants to keep marriage between a man a woman. Shocker.

Seriously...what stance would you expect anyone from the Church to have??

[bluehenbillk]

Takes the name Pope Francis.

[93henfan]

Takes the name Pope Francis.

Kind of a bitch name if you ask me.

[Seahawks08]

He's 76. Is that considered young?

Listen, I'm not defending anyone but to call someone an asshole because they hold a belief contrary to yours makes you an asshole. Respect the right to disagree. Funny, we don't see you guys bitching about the homophobic southern baptists.
