Still unsure whether he chose St. Francis of Assisi or St. Francis Xavier. According to the Vatican, it might be the former.

He insisted on paying his own bill!

He appears to have much in common with the beloved and hugely popular John XXIII.

He brings a “common man” touch to the papacy and he is not seduced by the trappings and the reality of power.

Pope Francis wants to set an example in how he treats those beneath him.

Apparently the Holy Father has some interesting views on the future status of the Falklands..he considers the Brits to be "usurpers"..feels they belong to Argentina..

Other than this, I am very impressed with the new Pontiff, but you can guarantee that crazy Cristina Kirschner will now ratchet up the wardrums..indeed, it will be ironic if Pope Francis' election leads to a war..

There was something in an AP story that he stopped by the hotel to pay the bill.

Very humble. May we all emulate him.

God bless Pope Francis I!
