Most all I have to say has already been voiced by other posters.
But still, I wish the new Pope had been someone younger. From what I heard on the news this evening, those who are close to him say he has already been slowed by age.
He's 76. Will there be a new conclave within just a few years?
I honestly thought the Cardinals might go for someone just a little bit younger this time around (like, under 70...).
Signor V.

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"
"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"
"It was a grass harp... And we listened."
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"
"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
