— Ace The new pope should appear on the balcony to greet the throngs awaiting him "shortly."
White smoke poured out of the Sistine Chapel chimney Wednesday to roars of joy from the throngs jamming St. Peter's Square.The new pope, his name not yet revealed, is expected to greet the masses from the balcony of St. Peter's Basillica shortly.
The 115 voting cardinals took four or five votes over two days to reach their decision, which required a two-thirds majority and came after a week of intense meetings.
Italy's Scola an Easy Choice? So speculates the Washington Post.
Rumor Has It... that Andrew Sullivan has already written his blogpost about the new pope, "A Monstrous Choice," and is just waiting for the name before hitting publish.

What gives with the Swiss Guard Vatican costume? As if the newly manufactured uniforms are holy relics. Even Nuns don't dress in their old garb since Vatican II, and priests don't still wear the same garb as they did back in the day of the never altered Swiss Guard uniforms.

Y'know, as a convert, that was something that sold me on the Catholic Church. If it, as an institution of Christianity--a pacifist religion, by and large--can survive Rodrigo Borgia and Julius II (della Rovere), it is surely protected by God.

"Brian, are you excited about your new role?"
Well, I have a feeling it will be quite a challenge, especially since I'm already playing the Vatican, but at least I'll save on parking!
But seriously, I really feel that playing both the voice of Darth Vader and the Death Star has somewhat prepared me for this challenge.

Pro Tip: Stay away from Sister Kradricz' seven layer bean dip. She's getting on in years, and often forgets whether she's fixing food for the pot-luck....or the dog.

All of us down at the Brattleboro WomanÂ’s Reproductive and Pregnancy Decision Center hope the new Pope is named Pope Barack I in honor of Presdent Obama. It would be a grate honor if the new pOp did this to a person of color rather then a person of non color or something.

I disagree with Catholicism extensively on doctrine, rituals, etc., but I respect and admire the church for not caving to the "diversity" mob, which is more than I can say about a bunch of protestant denominations (mostly mainline, I believe).

I understand that it's highly important to Catholics and respect that, but it's just not a story that holds my interest.
I am interested in knowing who the new pope is but I've really not been following the story closely.-------------------------------------- As a Latter-Day Saint, the event itself is largely a non-issue. The new pope isn't going to be my ecclesiastical leader, and I don't expect the leaders of my own church to follow his lead. However, the pope is the head of one of the largest religious denominations in the world, and an awful lot of people look to him for guidance. The pope's instruction on various issues can have important consequences over the length of his term. Pope John Paul II is generally thought of as one of the big three (the other two being Reagan and Thatcher) who were responsible for the collapse of Communism. Put the right man in charge of the Catholic church, and we could see something of similar importance take place. Put the wrong man in, and things could get a lot worse.

You're not alone. I do think, however, there's a great deal of humor value to be found in Hot Air's Ed Morrissey, whose breathless, on-the-scene-live-at-the-Vatican reporting style has a kind of charmingly amateurish quality reminiscent of his Santorum reporting during the 2012 primaries:
Ed: 'The smoke is still black, yes. I can see clearly that the smoke is still black.'
Ed (later): 'Still looking, and I see the smoke is still black--no, wait, what? A bird--yes a bird--has perched on the chimney. I'm told by good authority the bird is some kind of...pigeon? No, wait, not a pigeon. A dove! Could that be a sign? No, sorry, wait. My bad. Not a dove. I repeat: it is not a dove. It's definitely a gull. Definitely a gull.'
Ed (still later): 'WHITE SMOKE! WHITE SMOKE! OMG!'
And so on.

The Obama administration is drawing up plans to give all U.S. spy agencies full access to a massive database that contains financial data on American citizens and others who bank in the country, according to a Treasury Department document seen by Reuters.
The proposed plan represents a major step by U.S. intelligence agencies to spot and track down terrorist networks and crime syndicates by bringing together financial databanks, criminal records and military intelligence. The plan, which legal experts say is permissible under U.S. law, is nonetheless likely to trigger intense criticism from privacy advocates.
Financial institutions that operate in the United States are required by law to file reports of "suspicious customer activity," such as large money transfers or unusually structured bank accounts, to Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

As Catholic cardinals meet to select a new pope in Vatican City, President Barack Obama said in an interview that an American pope would rule just as effectively as a pope from another country.
”It seems to me that an American pope would preside just as effectively as a Polish pope or an Italian pope or a Guatemalan pope,” Obama told ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos in an interview recorded Tuesday and portions of which aired Wednesday on “Good Morning America.”
But would an American pope take orders from him?
“I don’t know if you’ve checked lately, but the Conference of Catholic Bishops here in the United States don’t seem to be takin’ orders from me,” Obama said with a laugh.
[the conference don't take orders from him? I guess the smartest President in history missed school the day they studying English.)

As Catholic cardinals meet to select a new pope in Vatican City, President Barack Obama said in an interview that an American pope would rule just as effectively as a pope from another country.

I profoundly disagree. A priest is held up as so much more than a math teacher. It's not only fair to hold them to a higher standard, all Catholics should DEMAND it.
Others can do as they wish.
Personally, I would treat them equally. Both would be castrated, shot, and buried in the exact same fashion.

Who's 'we'? Thousands of condemned were crucified by the Romans and others. Depictions of crucifiction may be in poor taste, given context, but are not inherently blasphemous. In this instance, Christ and Christianity are not being mocked. Andrew Sullivan is being mocked. Intent is everything.
Posted by: troyriser at March 13, 2013 11:12 AM (vtiE6)
Jesus, EoJ, there is a huge fucking difference between having dumb doctrinal opinions (which Matthews does) and actually knowing the issues enough to talk about them (as opposed to, say, Shep Smith doing mindless coverage).
You get this. I know you do. You just think that Matthews' politics (religious and secular) are retarded, so you're ignoring my point.

Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, SJ, Archbishop of Buenos Aires (Argentina) , was born in Buenos Aires on 17 December 1936. He studied and earned a diploma as a technical chemist, but then chose the priesthood and entered the seminary in Villa Devoto. He entered the novitiate of the Society of Jesus on 11 March 1958 and completed his humanities studies in Chile before returning to Buenos Aires in 1963 where he obtained a degree in philosophy from the Philosophy Faculty of the San José Major College in San Miguel.
Between 1964 and 1965, he taught literature and psychology at the Immaculate Mary College in Santa Fe and from 1966, he taught the same subjects at Saviour College in Buenos Aires.
From 1967 to 1970, he studied theology at the Theology Faculty at the San José Major College, in San Miguel. He was ordained a priest on 13 December 1969.
In 1970-71, he finished his third probation at Alcalá de Henares (Spain) and he took his final vows on 22 April 1973.
He was master of novices at Villa Barilari, San Miguel (1972-1973), professor at the Theology Faculty, Provincial Consultor and Rector of the Major College. On 31 July 1973, he was elected Provincial of Argentina, a position he held for many years.
Between 1980 and 1986, he was rector of the Major College and of its Philosophy and Theologoy Faculties. He was also parish priest of Patriarca San José in the diocese of San Miguel.
In March 1986, he went to Germany to finish his doctoral thesis; on his return, he was assigned to the Saviour College, going from there to the Jesuit church in the city of Cordoba as spiritual director and confessor.
On 20 May 1992, Pope John Paul II named him titual Bishop of Auca and Auxiliary Bishop of Buenos Aires. He was consecrated on 27 June in the Cathedral of Buenos Aires by Cardinal Antonio Quarracino, Monsignor Ubaldo Calabresi (Apostolic Nuncio) and bishop of Mercedes-Luján, Monsignor Emilio Ogñénovich.
On 3 June 1997, he was named Coadjutor Archbishop of Buenos Aires and succeeded to full governance of the Archdiocese on 28 February 1998, following the death of Cardinale Quarracino.
He has written the books: «Meditaciones para religiosos» in 1982, «Reflexiones sobre la vida apostólica» in 1986 and «Reflexiones de esperanza» in 1992.
He is Ordinary for the Oriental-Rite faithful living in Argentina without their own Ordinary. He is second vice-president of the Argentinian Bishops' Conference and, as a member of the Executive Committee, is a member of the Permanent Commission representing the Province of Buenos Aires.
He is currently a member of the Episcopal Commission for Catholic Education and of the Argentina Catholic University, of which he is Grand Chancellor.

People who talk about social justice, especially non-Catholics, always leave out the key theological point behind the Catholic version of it.
"Subsidiarity" is a key piece of the Catholic SJ theology. This means, you take care of the problem at the lowest level, which is to say, face-to-face.
Otherwise, all you're doing is outsourcing your duty and trying to buy some grace on the cheap.

The results of "social justice" is the same everywhere. It always creates more and more poor people.

I have to hope. I cannot go to the Anglicans nor the Lutherans.

I have yet to read or hear any proponents of social justice explain exactly what 'social justice' means. If I know what it is, then maybe I can decide if IÂ’m for or against it.

When the Southern Baptists and the Methodists elect their leaders, I promise that I won't come on here complaining that they don't go to confession.
Deal?

That's always the result when government tries it.
But there's a ton of research out there that shows faith-based programs are anywhere from 3 to 10 times more effective than government. Which is why government should just get out of the business altogether.

And what happens when the Catholic church gives it's approval and/or blessing to the countries perpetuating social justice.
If the Church keeps it within it's own boundries I see nothing wrong with it.....BUT, for the past couple of decades that hasn't been the way the Catholic church has rolled.

Of course I know of one Church rebuilt after Katrina that seems to push the concept that Saints and Holy Family are lesser gods. They put statues that survived the storm surge from Katrina into small plain white Greco-Roman style alcoves inside the Church. They look like mini-temples. Every time I attend Mass in that Church I cringe.

I am following wht my Monsignor said at mass: believe no secular media.
This seems like a good plan to me.

That's not the way any Church has rolled, TBH. So let's not pin it all on the RC Church.
And I am unaware of a single example of how the RC Church "blessing" to anything affects how a government acts.
In the Catholic sense, "social justice" is nothing more than giving a person what they deserve. There are some pretty clear precepts the Church supports, and I think if I laid out those precepts you'd agree with them 100%, but we'd argue about how to implement them. People who think the Catholic Church itself is pretty much full-on commie have no idea what the Church is really about.
And that includes the people IN that same Church. Individual priests? Yes. But the institutional Church? No.

At one time the Jesuits werre much admired. I think in the 60's they got taken over by the left-leaning types.
This man seems to be a humble and prayerful man, so I am thinking maybe this is what God thinks the Church needs.
I need to leave, as dog needs to be picked up at vet.
May God guide us all, and may he use Pope Francis to inspire people to look to God.

As long as he stays with the fundemental spiritual principles of the church, I find nothing wrong with this pope. Time will tell. He's facing a world that's about to burn.

Columba Garnica Gallo Bush
parents:
José MarÃa Garnica and Josefina Gallo
birthplace: León, Guanajuato, (Central) Mexico
Jeb's son George Prescott Bush announced his GOP candidacy for TX Land Commissioner.
Given the social/cultural oligarchy ruling Mexico, I wondered who the Garnica and Gallo families are, and after your "sheesh" decided to look. The links that come up searching the father's name regard his daughter. The Independent Populist reports that Mr. Garnica was a migrant worker. Interesting trivia, Columba had $19,000.00 worth of new clothes and jewelry brought into the country while failing to report. Likely that incident was after she met Jeb Bush in 1971 in León, where he was teaching English as part of a foreign exchange program. Failing to report bringing in $19K at customs aligns with the Bush family "open borders" policy.
