He's a stop gap Pope, it was viewed the other cardinals in the running were to young, and they dont want another 25 year Pope.
He's very anti-paedophilia within the church, and is very open in his dislike of the Americans Cardinals, or many of them I should say. He is also very Anti Mason within Rome.
basically he'll be Pope 5 years, 10 years tops, not much will change except for maybe the mason and paedophilia issues, and then these other Cardinals will then be older and more acceptable.
Its really the vote for the next Pope that will be open, this one was always going to put a steady hand in place for the short term.
You may however see a huge debate within the Church begin, which is ironic because he is a hardliner, but people need to remember the church does not change over night, even if there is will to do somethings, it will still take over 10 years for change, and thats not even thinking of contreversal issues.

I don't give a shit. Anyone who thinks that homosexuality is "an intrinsic evil" needs to be kept in a position of non power. He's a dangerous man with dangerous views.

What a surprise you letting everyone know your opinion, if you want to start a thread about that go and do it.
Of course its only your thoughts and believes that matter has you've shown on countless threads, because respect = agree with you.
I could say this and that about it, but whats the point you have neither the ego to listen to anyone else or the brain, so I wont bother.
Homosexuality being excepted within the Church wouldn't have happened today with a Liberial pope, but you live in a country were its still not accepted in some states, does that make all Americans evil ? by the way your President thinks it, at least I didn't elect him.
this Pope will change nothing, thats what he has been appointed for and its during those years that people will try to position a liberial and more sympathetic pope, but had you read my post rather than just posting your opinion so we can all yet again know what you think, you would have got that, this pope in the long term actually means there a better chance of a more liberial pope in 5 years.
I dont agree with alot of the things the church teaches, but I stay within it, because to leave means change will never come, but halfwits like you who just snipe from the sidelines and know nothing really get on my nerves.
No doubt your cheer leaders will come out to defend you, but your what ,1 month older than me, and you know nothing, you offer opinions about things you obviously have no understanding off and its bit tiresome, that belly rumbles and it all comes out, very rarely with any ideas or preceptions to what really goes on in life.
My post about him not being a Nazi was for your benefit by the way, incase someone told you that again and you decided to make a arse of yourself today.
If your ever going to become a teacher you will need to learn that events are not just about what happen on that day, but what it will allow to happen in the future.
Oh and by the way, if you ever started a conversation with me in person with "I dont give a shit", you'd be spending a week in a hospital bed, some buddhist you are, you cant even talk with any grace, respect or be nice online when someone hasn't even been rude to you., christ knows what your like in day to day life.
