Pope Francis I, supposed to be a good man, a man of the people.

The first thing I thought: I am glad it wasn't Scola. Not because I have anything against the man, but because he was the ultimate insider and right hand man of Benedict.
The second thing: he really does not look like he was too happy. In fact, during the previous conclave he was runner up several times, and asked several times that he would not be elected. When he appeared on the balcony, the appropriate description imo was 'stunned'.
The third thing: as soon as he started talking, I felt that he was a man on the people. Someone who can relate to the people in the streets.
I wish him all the best.
It's also the first non European in 1200 years.
He is the first of that name. I hope he will bring a fresh wind to the churchTil shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

Bruno, when you say he looked stunned, I saw a man that was humbled. I think they made a very good choice. They are touting him as a man of the people, I hope he works out as such.

From what I have read of him he is a person with a very simple and active faith, sticking to the basics. I truly hope he can restore peoples faith in the church. Personally, I think the cardinals have done well. God bless.

I don't know if I would say he is the exact right man for the job at this time. It would of been better to have had him elected at the time Benedict was elected. Now at his advanced age he effectively becomes another caretaker Pope.
Now with that said and with his background he may be able to put into motion quickly some things to change the church for the better.
His age and time as cardinal will give a good footing to clean up the papal Curia which is really not looking good over the last couple years.
I was also happy to see a Jesuit priest ascended to the papal seat.
Overall a good man for the job but would of liked a younger man.nun2sharp likes this.
