As a non-Catholic I find this whole process absolutely fascinating.
Also, Conclave is a fantastic film, if you haven't seen it yet.

He's more moderate but still of the same general pastoral mold and a clearer speaker on doctrinal matters, thankfully.
There are some questionable things around him but at some point every cardinal and every human for that matter is going to have some skeletons somewhere.

Infallibility only applies to doctrinal matters and not choice of sports teams, thankfully.

Habemus Papam!
I genuinely was shocked by the choice. I had a top 2 that I would of liked to see. Don't know much about him except that he was born in Chicago. Speaks 5 languages. And has dual citizenship with Peru, as hes been there for 20 years. An American Pope. Never thought that would happen!
But I'm excited to see how he does. Leo XIV.

His brother gave an interview clarifying that he is, in fact, a White Sox fan.

Sarah is pretty awesome but too hardline to be electable.
I'm just finding it funny how the two big names the media was trying to prop up as their favorites, Tagle and Parolin, got shut out for a relative dark horse. But if you really read up on the state of the church you'd have known that both those guys have had financial scandals on their record and Cardinal Zen flying in from Hong Kong pretty much ended Parolin as a candidate since he was the one who brokered the China deal.
Ah, a true South-Sider. Being a Chicago baseball fan of any kind is definitely a Cross to bear.
All kidding aside, I’m praying for a successful pontificate for His Holiness.

Metallica rocked Virginia Tech concert so hard it registered as a small earthquake
While the minor seismic activity, quickly dubbed the “Metallica Quake” online, posed no danger, it was too minor to register on the Richter scale or be assigned a rating, the FOX Foreca…

That headline's not true at all. Sirico is not a cardinal with voting rights. He's not even a bishop, he's just a priest and a fringe one at that. He went to Rome to watch the festivities but did not partake in the Conclave.
Not surprised. My nieces were there. Hell raisers.Metallica rocked Virginia Tech concert so hard it registered as a small earthquake

I cannot say that I wouldn't ram my SUV through the trunk and into the back seat of this car if I were behind it at the time of this photo. Accidentally, of course.

I was around for Pius XII too, but don't remember him.
