Historic indeed. The last time this event took place, John Wooden was still taking UCLA a championship every year. This has only happened 100 times in the past 6 centuries.
True. Electing Pope's is historic in the sense there are so few.
But in the sense I witness history in the moment as a non Catholic, I am struck by the witness to Christianity being made by its foe- the MSM.
I personally am taking great enjoyment in the fact that the MSM is overcome by the power of Christianity world wide. As a Christian it thrills me to witness this rare moment when the secular Left is reduced to nothing. When illusions of Power are stripped away and they are forced to confront that Christianity is not dead despite their persecutions. That is infact more powerful than they will ever be.
But I note the persecution of Christians of all denominations will receive a backlash as they react with fury to this realization. In our own country they are already angered about TPOTC and G.W.'s election, not to mention the temerity we might correct the Judicial system. This is going to further drive them to insanity.
