You know, this is the first Pope that I have memory of being elected. I was born in '73, but I was too little to remember JPII. I'm a Jew and I'm excited and happy. :-)

Me too!

I'm old enough to remember the year of the three popes, but I don't think I quite gathered the significance at that time.

Sheesh, I've got stuff in my refrigerator older than you. ;-)

This Southern Baptist is excited, too! I had such great respect for PJPII. I'm betting it's Ratzinger.

Some aerial views of the square filling up are breathtaking. I saw them on CNN and the networks.

I'm a Catholic and also excited (and happy to see so many well wishes on this thread from others of different faiths).

I'm a few years older, so I do recall being really confused when there were two Popes elected so quickly. But other than confusion I don't recall much else.

At 8 there are other things on your mind. =)
