It is a good choice I feel as well.
Imagine if they had chosen Ciley Virus............
He is awesome! The things he's said and done in his short time in Peter's seat just blow me away.

Yes, What a fantastic choice. ( Ciley Virus is hilarious, and sadly fitting)
What a wonderful choice especially after looking at the others considered.
He's the first Pope thats actually a proper Christian. So I feel he's the right choice as well.
i cannot believe they had Miley Cirus in there..............seriously?
oh, humanity.
oh, humanity.
Don't forget that Hitler was man of the year once and so was Khomeini. I think Time considers it more of a "who shook things up the most" kind of thing.
Not that I'm comparing Miley Cirus to those two guys.
True..... so true that it's giving me a headache just thinking about it... 
What? No Angelina Jolie? *hurls* No Oprah? *eye roll* No Obama?
You mean they actually chose a humanitarian who does the right thing? JUST because it's the right thing?
I feel faint.

I am glad that they chose the Pope- he has brought a more modern view to what has become a stagnant religion. I am not trying to offend anyone here but there really hasn't been much change within the religion for a long time. I hope he continues to move the Church forward. He is a brave man. (but can he twerk?)

Can he maybe recommend that women could become priests as well as men, rather than just being second string nuns who don't exactly have the same status? (Oh sorry - forgot this was not the religion thread).
I was driving through Ohio with a friend when breaking news announced the smoke signals and this guy emerged. Do you all remember where you were when it was announced or is it just because I'm a crazy Catholic that it was so moving for me? Anyhow, I was just humbled by how he bowed and asked US to bless HIM and pray for HIM before he prayed for us. I read in an article how he hasn't changed the words (of the Catholic doctrine), he's changed the music. How true! It makes me stop and think every time I'm in a situation I can make a difference: "what are you going to do for God's child here?" It's not enough to give lip service. We've got to be the hands and feet of Christ now - Papa Francisco says!
I am so glad that they choose him-He is the first people that seems down to earth and trying to help the people.
...I'm an an agnostic, a believer in The White...but this humble servant truly has shown me what a "man of God and the people" truly is...
Perhaps, given time, he will recommend that as well. Being a church leader shouldn't have to fall under the 'Men's Club' idea anyway.
