THE SEARCH is over. There’s a new pope… a new old pope.
Latin American Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, 76 was not considered as a frontrunner for pope. In fact, in the days leading up to the conclave, he was off the radar; suddenly he’s up there. Very Bam Aquino.
Breaking: The United Nationalist Alliance is questioning the result of the balloting.
Did you hear Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s first speech as pope? CNN said the speech was “unconventional.” Some people believe it was “refreshing” and Tito Sotto was like, “Where can I get a copy?”
A Jesuit from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Pope Francis is reportedly a humble man. Others say he’s also “brilliant” although for Cynthia Villar, “Hindi naman kailangang gano’n kagaling ang Pope.”
A cardinal from Argentina has been elected Pope! As winner, the new pope gets a new iPad from Jamby Madrigal.
A new pope has been elected. If things go wrong under his leadership, he can always blame the previous administration of Pope Macapagal-Arroyo.
A Latin American is the new pope. Perceived frontrunners including a Filipino were snubbed by the College of Cardinals. Malacañang smells a conspiracy.
Thousands of Catholics gathered in St. Peter’s Square to welcome the new pope. As throngs waited for the announcement, someone in the crowd shouted, “Tagle! Tagle!” And then Pope Francis appeared and said, “You don’t do that to me!”
With or without a new pope, Migz Zubiri said “we’ll make baby No. 3!”
For at least two hours on Thursday, the Top 10 trending topics on Twitter worldwide were all pope-related. No Justin Bieber, no One Direction. That was Pope Francis’ first miracle!
The Roman Catholic Church is facing daunting challenges. That’s probably the reason why they chose Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, a Jesuit with a master’s degree in chemistry. He has the solutions.
Some reports say Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was the runner-up to Pope Benedict XVI in the 2005 conclave. I didn’t know Vatican adopts beauty pageant rules. “If for any reason…”
Ok, it’s done. We have a new pope. The frenzy is starting to subside. The Roman Catholic Church can now continue promoting its anti-homosexual, anti-women, and anti-choice stance. Habemus papam!

“When I approached Pope Francis to assure him of closeness and collaboration of Filipinos, he said, ‘I have high hopes for the Philippines.'”

An argentinian is the ‘hand of god’ – and not for the first time. Remember Maradona in 1986 world cup. English football fans do!
And pope or no pope, the falkland islands are not argentinian.

Rev. 17:3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was dressed in PURPLE and SCARLET, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a GOLDEN CUP in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 5 The name written on her forehead was a mystery:
babylon the great
the mother of prostitutes
and of the abominations of the earth.
6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.
eto ata ung verse na patama sa Roman Catholic Church, wala lang hehehe

Observation lang: Magkahawig sina Pope Francis at Fr. Joaquin Bernas. At pareho pa silang Jesuits.🙂

Just out of curiousity, what difference does it make to you who was selected Pope? The current cult of gay rights advocates would not care to attend Mardi Gras to mingle with body pierced gays with nipple rings and chains proudly enjoying a normal life style just like other married folks.

This blog is just full of wit! I loved the very anti-politics and anti-church flavour.
