This was very fast. As a Catholic, I am quite surprised. I am happy for whoever the new Pope is. I do hope the new Pope continues Pope Francis new progressive ways.

I agree, it was a fast decision. Perhaps the Vatican made it quickly to shut down the nonsense spewing from the WH, with the asshole posing as the Pope.

I also am hopeful that the new Pope will continue in Pope Francis's footsteps.

Me too!! But I think he will according to Apple News with the CNN’s Vatican analyst says that he will.

Oh well. I’m happy with any guy that calls out 45/47 and tells JD Hillbilly Boy he’s wrong…publicly anytime.

i have never been interested in any pope. but in the current world climate it feels like it's more relevant what kind of people are in leadership positions. i hope it's someone who can navigate things well.

This is historic, but I am not so sure that the role of pope is a good one -- always a male, and except for Pope Gelasius, who was the 49th pope, all white. Pope Francis was a good man, a good leader who also couldn't see letting women take leadership roles. So much of the pontiff's role keeps traditions that are harmful for our evolution and harmful to women.

There's a deeper understanding of why the pope must be a male…

It would be interesting how this compared to the selection of past popes. This was pretty quick. I actually expected it to take a few more days.

The selection of Pope Francis took only 2 days, also.
