“He wasn't a man that was comfortable with crowds.” However, after World Youth Day in Rio de Janiero earlier this summer, the pontiff is “a completely different person for good, in the sense that he is incredibly comfortable with the crowds as he was not in the past.” As I recall, WYD had a similar effect on Pope Benedict.

That is an excellent photo of Pope Francis. I have not yet seen one for sale that I really like.

Pope Francis is only 76 years old. That isn't so old anymore. He could be in the Chair of St. Peter for another 20 years.
I think that what he does in the next 15 years or so will be far more interesting than his first six months. Doncha think?
