It is a blessing that we have a new Pope. It is also refreshing to hear that he is from, Argentina. I suppose this goes to show that no matter what others may say, the Catholic Church is one billion strong. This is a humble man who will be a wonderful leader for the Catholic Church here on Earth.
Good luck to the Pope. I hope he implements some reforms to the church. Pope Rat certainly didn't.— chasing history- Son of Italian immigrants who relocated to Argentina. The old world and the new world together, this is a good thing.— BigT
- Hey thanks for reminding me about the sex abuse scandal at this joyious time...I almost forgot about it. I'll bet your the kind of guy to bring up one of your kin being in jail at the Thanksgiving dinner table.— Barking Dog 61
- Every religious, sports, learning, etc organizations have its share of pedophiles. But for some reason the Media gets off disrespecting “Only The Catholic Religion”!! I agree the Catholic Church, like any other Religious Organizations have it share of problems. The Catholic Church like any other Religious Organizations need to reform. Additionally, It is never mentioned the good that the Catholic Church does for mankind of any race or creed on the planet.
The Liberal Media doesn’t have the b@!!s to make fun of any other religion; especially the Muslim religion…
