Arse. New pope.

Ratzinger's got the post.

Nobody expects the German Inquisition. Here's hoping he doesn't stick around long. I was really, really hoping for the blokey from Mexico.

I was really, really hoping for pretty much anyone else!

I was hoping for an African Pope, just to cheese off the Old White Establishment.

At least he's not Italian.

And he's pretty old. Am NOT impressed with his hard-line attitude.

Not exactly the one you wanted leading a Catholic church into a bright new 21st century. With this guy they'll be lucky to crawl out of the 16th.
