We have a POPE!!!!

[Joe_5859]

I’m excited I will get to use those 4 years of college Latin during the announcement!

I have my printout of all the Cardinals names in Latin, so I can figure it out a fraction of a second before the rest of the world.

My cat is sleeping (no sense of drama but I am waiting to see who it will be.

I can hardly stand the wait.

Neither can I.

In 2005 they had me at Josephum.

Hey, my friend!

I personally hope it is Cardinal Scola. Catholicism in Europe, and the West in general, needs help. Perhaps a young European pope can rejuvenate the Church. I will accept the choice of the conclave, however, so God bless our new pontiff wherever he’s from!

Pray the rosary right now for the new pope! The second I heard there was white smoke, I picked up my favorite rosary and began praying for our new Holy Father.

I am nervous, I want to know who the next Pope is

The entire world is watching jumbotrons in St. Peter’s square broadcasting smoke coming out of a chimney! Little details like that is one of the many reasons why I love my Church!

People are running through the streets near the Vatican to reach St. Peter’s Square in time for the appearance of the new Pope.

And gives lie to the claim that the Church is irrelevant

It is moments like this when I am so proud to be a Catholic and feel so sorry for anyone who is not.

i think it will be the argentinian cardinal. i think he will be a good pope.

 

[Luigi_Daniele]

If he waits 12 minutes, I’ll be offering my Angelus for him live

This thread is all I have a the moment, keep the updates coming.

I wish I could watch.

It’s kind of fun not knowing for a moment more.

Whoever it is 77 Cardinals at least backed him after much prayer. I will be happy.

Cardinal Egan is doing a good job on NBC (in my humble opinion). And I like that Brian Williams is just letting him talk
