I cant believe no one understood the Latin announcement. It was quite clear.

So Francis in English? French media is reporting Francois.

Pope Francis seems like a nice humble guy; born and raised in Argentina, but of a 1st generation Italian immigrant family. He studied and received a master's degree in chemistry before deciding to become a priest.

His twitter account is literally gaining around 100 new followers every second or so:

https://mobile.twitter.com/JMBergoglio

When I posted that it was 6,000, now past the 125,000 mark; first papal 'achievement' quickest to 1 million followers ?

QuoteMore on Argentinian journalist Horacio Verbitsky's contention that Bergoglio stood by as tens of thousand of leftists were captured and killed:

The most well-known episode relates to the abduction of two Jesuits whom the military government secretly jailed for their work in poor neighborhoods.

According to "The Silence," a book written by journalist Horacio Verbitsky, Bergoglio withdrew his order's protection of the two men after they refused to quit visiting the slums, which ultimately paved the way for their capture.

Verbitsky's book is based on statements by Orlando Yorio, one of the kidnapped Jesuits, before he died of natural causes in 2000. Both of the abducted clergymen survived five months of imprisonment.

"History condemns him. It shows him to be opposed to all innovation in the Church and above all, during the dictatorship, it shows he was very cozy with the military," Fortunato Mallimacci, the former dean of social sciences at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, once said.

Yeah, sounds like a really nice guy.

A Jesuit.  Wow.  That's big.  I mean, really big.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Anyway I guess the Argentine priest who did our marriage gets to move up one rank.  IIRC he had moved on to become some official something-or-other in the church hierarchy.
