Pope Benedict XVI resigned-Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina has been elected

[Dark Knight]

These ladies on CNN---I got news for them, women will not be ordained anytime soon....lol

It's an infallible teaching of the Church meaning no Pope can overturn it. If one tried, the Cardinals would remove them. Pope John Paul II made that clear.

Does the "Extra omnes" guy make the announcement or someone else?

Very exciting and quite moving. Prayers going up for our new Pope.

Why am I crying?

You won't miss the Pope though when he comes out, GL.

It was so dark it was hard to tell if it was black or white....CNN was saying it was lighter than before and then the bells started and tons of white smoke came out.

You're here for the most important part! Get your Latin names ready!

Remember, here is our list of Latin first names!

They will say something like eminentissimum et reverendissimum dominum, "Latin first name" Cardinalem "last name"

What a scene!!!!! Bells ringing, white smoke! WE HAVE A POPE!!!!!

It's beautiful.

My mom just woke up in her chair saying "We have a Pope? We have a Pope? How'd it go that fast?"

Followed by "That quick then he's Italian"

So what I forgot to say was when I was taking my nap I woke up thinking "white smoke, Turkson" --- !!!

Viva Il Papa!

 

[Gardenlady]

Any last guesses?! I had NO IDEA it would be this fast. They must really want a drink lol!

On 3/13/13, which, in some way, seems symbolic of the Most Holy and Blessed Trinity
