Benedict XVI greets Vatican crowd
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany was elected the 265th pontiff today by the College of Cardinals. He was announced as tens of thousands of people cheered in St. Peter's Square. Ratzinger has chosen the name Benedict XVI, the Vatican announced. The announcement came shortly after white smoke rose from the Vatican chimney and bells rang to announce that a new pope had been selected.
Well its about time. Where would we all be without a pope.
Believe it or not, it was rather quick. I was thinking we wouldn't know at least until Thursday or Friday.Originally Posted by somebigguy

Could you imagine, a whole week without a pope. Where would the world be. Thankfully it didn't come to that.Believe it or not, it was rather quick. I was thinking we wouldn't know at least until Thursday or Friday.
But fuck 'em anyways.
You know what you get when you hang the pope?
Pope on a rope.
I just reported you to the mods for that really bad joke.
Well Florida wasn't allowed to vote so....
supposedly the choice is divinely inspired (so they aren't really voting) ...Believe it or not, it was rather quick. I was thinking we wouldn't know at least until Thursday or Friday.
But fuck 'em anyways.
but I'm surprised at the choice none the less.
Well, I heard the first vote went to Bush, so they decided to throw out the electronic voting machines and do it the old fashioned way.
