The white smoke had come and gone and a new pope is among us. The Vatican has chosen Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, Argentina. And although he’s not in favor of ”Kills the Gays” legislation like a contender (points!), he is predictably in line with the whole children need a mother and a father line of thought. Not a big shocker by any means.
The Guardian describes the archbishop turned pope as “a Jesuit intellectual” who has a very deep compassion for the poor (but not the gays!). Upon being made cardinal in 2001, Bergoglio reportedly told “hundreds of Argentinians” to not throw away money on a plane ticket to Rome to celebrate with him. He encouraged his supporters to give that plane ticket cash to the poor. The man has a heart….but not for the gays or their children:
He was a fierce opponent of Argentina’s decision to legalise gay marriage in 2010, arguing children need to have the right to be raised and educated by a father and a mother.
So nothing to really new to see here, folks, but thanks for coming out. Much like Pope Benedict XVI, I fully expect to see our new pope getting up every Christmas to rail against the evils of same-sex marriage and how it’s destroying our children one gay marriage license at a time. As opposed to, you know, not having access to health insurance via their parents’ relationship status.

That’s going to put him in competition with Bloomberg and Obama!
Yeah, no homos should be able to adopt. A mother and father.
No abortion.
No homo marriage
Sounds good to me
The writer seems to have poop sex on the brain.
we can only hope. i have been wanting FOR SO LONG to have my church shout from the roof tops NO NO NO to abortion and homosexuality. i wqnt it discussed at mass on a regular basis.
Cool. I may steal that!
LOL! Enjoy!
It started here...
I was emailed the Alert pic as soon as the white smoke went up!!!
At any rate, I’m happy with the choice although I wish he were a younger man.Although we love Pope Francis already, we were hoping for younger too; however, there must be a Master Plan. :)
Is he into global redistribution of wealth (social justice) - a global government with regulation and control powers, a global Fed and global taxation?
Just wondering if you know yet. I have reading to do about him. To many “intellecutals” there are two choices struggling for power - global fascism (the p.c. global business and bankster crowd who want to control the world’s people, governments and wealth) and global communism. We know commies hate him for being against commies.
(The Devil wouldn’t have me!!)
