Holy Shmoke! Pope Francis!?
(1)
Sipping on beer #4 at 1835. Sip. I was planning to do this blog on Friday, but the election of the new pope today was too much to resist. I like the choice!
----------
1. He chose a new 'pope name.' That signals 'change.'
2. He is a Jesuit. (Jesuits taught me in HS. They're smart.)
3. He is a chemist. (Huh?! You can understand Chemistry and still believe ancient Jewish Mythology? Huh? How is that possible? Has he been crediting God with his survival of a serious lung disease instead of modern medicine? If so, it suggests that, like everybody else, he is not exactly anxious to 'go to Heaven,' and is 'ruled' by emotion more than by logic.)
----------
Whatever. I really like this choice. And notice that although he is from Argentina, he is the son of Italian Immigrants: a compromise based on genetic confluence. Sip.
