is 78 years old and is the 265th Pope.
He is obviously not a black Pope as some would have wanted. I trust that the Cardinals have made the right choice and that this gentleman will endeavour to do the will of God. May the wisdom bestowed on him reflect the light that God wishes to reveal to His people.

New Pope
Well the world can now have a little bit of free airwaves. Hopefully the media will give a break until the next media watch event. The Catholic Church now has a new Pope. Pope Benedict XVI was elected today by the College of Cardinals. This brings to an end much speculation as to who, the nationality of and the ethnic background of the next church leader.

OK, 'cause I heard on news up to this morning that there was still no decision....black smoke was still a come out the chimney (if is dat it name...)
Re the Nigerian fellow who some thought was going to get the position, I had heard that he was well conservative (can't confirm or deny as me nuh know him...or any of them), so many thought that gender issues and so on would not get much sympathy from him....anyway, the vote is over. Lets hope he will as you say do God's will and serve faithfully. Dr. D.
Bwoy, at 78 years of age, we soon have to be picking another pope. If the Nigerian fellow bides his time (or if he were to do something wicked, like befriend the pope's chef and enlist the chef's aid in poisoning the pope slowly) he might yet stand a chance, nuh true?
Actually, I don't think he should waste his time. He wouldn't get in then either...
Hi Scratchie - am in kingston town this week for a far too short visit, but I really would love to get together with you and the Doc - not sure if anyone's schedules will alow, mine included, but hopefully, if the Doc still loves me, his long-lost little sister- he'll call me tomorrow and we'll see if we can swing it this trip!
