This election of the Pope does,nt affect me one way or the other,What I can,t understand is, Why do they always elect a Pope who is well past retirement age? why not some one in their late Forties or early Fifties? he would last longer and have a more up to date idea of the World and the needs and wants of the People in it,Apart for modernising the Religion which really needs doing.**M** |

Thanks Sylvia. I hadn't heard that the Vatican announced that the new Pope is named after Francis of Assisi, just a comment from a t.v. presenter to said 2it must be after St. Francis of Assisi" (or words to that effect). |

The Vatican has said that it is Francis after Francis of Assisi because he was a "lover of the poor", as is the new Pope |

I agree with the outside broadcaster on Sky News... Pope Francis 1 does have a lovely a smile! |
