This thread seemed the most appropiate thread for this.

You have any thoughts about this, RicOlie_2?

No.

Just kidding. I'm not really surprised. I mean, the guy only has one lung, not to mention that he hasn't been afraid to speak out against popular or powerful people, like the Mafia. However, I do hope he lasts a lot longer than he expects to, and doesn't kill himself trying to reform the curia. He's up against a fair bit of opposition there, if I understand the situation correctly, and the Church needs more popes like him: unafraid to reform and saintly. I only hope that either he or his successor is rewarded in their efforts to fix problems with the Church's leadership and his/their work is not undone.
