Announcement? Not along the lines that the company is being wound up, surely?

That would be the very best of news. Failing that - how about a woman?

Argentina! Old white guy from Argentina!

Apparently....76 year old guy. Well, we'll get another chance for some more meaningful change relatively soon....

Well, ok first non-European pope in history. It's a step.

A woman? A woman?! You think that would be an improvement?! Well, it possibly might be, except for the inconvenient issue of there being no women in the organisation. There are just nuns...eeeck!

I know, I know...we expect a little dirt and mud here.
The best bit was the special announcer complaining that the official announcement was in Latin.

Apparently they weren't prepared for the language issue Laughing

I mean, 'Jesus wrote the Bible in English, so why do we need any other languages?'

P'raps you can see why I'd at least respect the dignity of the Catholic church, as a contrast to those I was forced to attend in my youth.

There apparently were at least three "African popes" in the early church:
