The New Pope Has Been Chosen

This is pretty exciting, even for me (i.e. non-Catholic or even church goer). The new Pope should be named soon.

Out with the old pope, in with the new pope...

It's super unlikely, but if it turns out to be Pope Dolan, New York is gonna flip it's shit for the next 24 hours.

Hopefully it's the pro-abortion, pro-contraception, pro-gay marriage pope this time.

I'm the new pope.

SPOILERS: He's probably okay with child rape.

Hopefully it's Peter the Roman.

Why is this the first I'm seeing of this?

@siroptimusprime: well I did just make it like 5 mins ago... lol

I wouldn't hold my breath. The progressiveness of the Catholic Church, while better than it has been, still has a lot to be desired.

That was quick, wasn't the one last time like 2 months or something

Said the new pop to the boy

Vinny is the favourite right? He wins every poll I've ever taken part in so I assume he wins every vote everywhere.

Someone with PhotoShop needs to get on this.

@graboids: That'd explain it :D

My guess: I'll be a fairly old white dude.

No thanks i'm good.

How will this metamorphosis occur when the pope is announced?

I'm going to take a wild guess that the new pope is an old white dude that doesn't like women, gays and condoms.

The last election of the Pope was pretty quick, like a couple of days.

The winner!

Are those babies going to pour holy Gatorade on the new Pope, or is something else going on?

@morbid_coffee said:

Considering Pope John Paul II was the first non-Italian Pope in almost 500 years, I don't think we'll see an American Pope for a while.

Erm, I meant to say... Whatever, nevermind :D

I am pretty sure it will be Gandalf!

Look at all those sheep

Tim Allen?

@dallas_raines said:

It's actually a part of the Pope's contract.

Jerry Sandusky

Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills [i.e. Rome] will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End.

Pope Frank

Is there anything you don't hate, Pope Francis?

"I don't hate vests."

Breaking news. Angry looking old man chosen.

Argentinian Pope. Ding Level-up!

I've been following this even though I'm not religious whatsoever. The whole pomp and circumstance and tradition just fascinates me.

I bet it's John Paul II again, he was well good at it.

They should let Dennis Rodman stand on the balcony with the Pope.

He's dead, Jim.

In honour of John Paul, they elected cardinal George Ringo (ish)

It smells like pope in here.

They said that about Jesus.

Haha, close enough.

So this one's the Anti-christ, right? Year 2013, 13th day. Wednesday. All the signs point to it.

Wouldn't require that the Church stop being the church?

They stopped doing Crusades a long time ago apparently, I guess they got bored.

latest polls show North American Catholics support gay marriage at least.

Another useless old man who will do nothing of value and be loved by millions for it.
