Just Jack Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Starts soon, here's a live view from inside the Sistine Chapel....
The Poojer Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I had a missed call with a Vatican area code but no message...
BringBackFergy Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Kiper's Mock Frock Draft 3.0 has the Cardinals selecting Bishop O'Hare in the first round on Friday.
zow2 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 They should do bracketology for this. You could have office pools if you pick the correct Pope out of a large bracket.

dib Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 The new pope is going to raise the urinals in the Vatican. He wants to keep the Cardinals on their toes
Mike In Illinois Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I had a missed call with a Vatican area code but no message... Probably for the better. Just some stupid kids connecting you to The Vatican so they can record the conversation about offering you the Papacy(?)
Captain Hindsight Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 http://www.paddypowe...area=quicklinks You really can bet on everything
BillsWatch Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I had a missed call with a Vatican area code but no message... Vatican has a country code but I hear the Inquisition has a phone in every area code; probably a call for your annual physical.
Nanker Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Is it true there is no Pope because of the sequester?
BRAWNDO Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Darin Gantt @daringantt The Jets found a sucker to take Tebow off their hands. RT @AP: BREAKING: White smoke signals Catholic church has chosen a new pope.

KD in CA Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Why do we so quickly americanize the name? Lighten up, Francis.
tennesseeboy Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 wow...a Jesuit...now that's a scary thought.. Actually he sounds like a pretty good guy with some humility. 76 seems a little long in the tooth, but hey we didn't expect a youth movement this time around. Francis is a good saint to name a pope after. I'm optimistic...except for the Jesuit thing..

shrader Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Lighten up, Francis. I've seen that joke made about 85 times already (and I'll get it in response again to this post I'm sure). I'm serious with the question though. Why do we always switch the name to our version instead of the name they actually choose? I'm sure we have more than our share of guys named Francesco in the US.
Steve O Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Lighten up, Francis. Unfortunately this is the first thing that will come to my mind every time I hear mention of him
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Will he take Francis the first (I) or does that get tacked on when there is another Francis? See John Paul I, was he always John Paul until John Paul II came along? What is the Papal protocol? Enquiring minds want to know! Since John Paul I... This has got to be the first "new" name in 100's of years? Cripes... There has been 16 Benedict's and 14 Clement's... Over 20 John's and strangely only 6 Paul's. Heck there is 6 Hadrian's and 9 Boniface's! Pope name = very interesting.
