#2 with-holding judgement for the time-being. To little known, and the slobbering over the fact he's from South America will take awhile to die down.

#4 Jesus spoke to St Francis: "Francis, rebuild my Church which as you can see is falling into ruin".

There is a clear message in the Pope's choice of name. He even alluded to it in his address mentioning "careerists". The Vatican and Curiae are in for a thorough (and IMHO, overdue) cleaning. Watch for the whining to begin. (And now we know why Benedict abdicated - not enough energy or stamina to complete what will likely be a years long hard slog through the bureaucracy).

As a Cardinal, he is on record strongly standing for the Church's teachings and traditions regarding homosexual "marriage" and adoption, abortion (including the denial of Communion to pro-abort/"pro-choice" politicians), female priests, and many other hotbutton issues.

Once the left/press gets over its "Latino" celebration, they will start in on him, especially once he speaks out against the HHS mandate.

#5 Once the left/press gets over its "Latino" celebration,

The shine wore off that pretty quick! The usual suspects are already whinging about him being on the 'wrong side' vs Chavez, Kirchner, Castro and the rest of the liberation theology mooks.

Not one of the flock, but I say "Give 'em hell, Francis!"
