We have a new Pope!
 

So there was immense confussion over the smoke...but the bells just tolled...

There is a new Pope!!

i love the antiquated ceremonies, that's about as far as my involvement/jubilation about the papal enclave goes...

though i'd love to see smoke billowing out of the capital dome everytime a law passes, everytime a congressional wrist is slapped, everytime a common neck is snapped... poetic, truly...

Even though I may not agree with certain types of religion, I still find it fascinating. My denomination is pretty close to Catholicism, so I'm definately watching.

It is fascinating :nod:

and I love that my job allows me to sit here at stare at the tv...we're all just sitting here watching/listening :p

I was...
 

watching the 10th Anniversary of the Murrah Building bombing ceremony, UNTIL the national networks interupted...I consider that disrespectful, Especially since OUR local affiliates are all OKC based :mad:

I agree, it's not appropriate to break in for that, esp. in your area. :(

Who's the new Pope?

What gets me...why do the Cardinals get to vote for the Pope...the Red Sox beat 'em four straight in the Series? :shrug:

They're still waiting on the appearance and announcement of the name he's chosen.

Exactly!!!
 

Why it's great the rest of the world can enjoy a new Pope, in OKC there's something of more importance than that...Remembering the ones lost 10 years ago.

If it's Oprah...I will die! :lol:

What happened with the smoke?

Pip

Easy...
 

the Cards have no DH, thus they get to vote :lol:

It's Ratzieger or whatever :distress:

edit: Ratzinger

I guess all popes have to look the same? :shrug: :)
