I literally jumped for joy when I heard he had been elected. There is something very beautiful about his expression and I don't think it's a human beauty.
Honestly I was a little disappointed. I was holding out for an American Pope (George) or Arinze or, my favorite choice, a Pope from an Islamic country. I also wanted a younger man, because I wanted years with him.
Good thing the Holy Spirit was running things and not me. God took good care of His church.
