CARDINALS ELECT NEW POPE
White smoke has appeared from the Vatican and bells have rung out signalling that a new Pope has been elected.
The new leader of the world's 1.1 billion Catholics succeeds John Paul II, who died on April 2 aged 84.
Soon one of the cardinals will announce: "Habemus papem" - "We have a Pope."
The name of the new Pope is expected to be announced shortly.
His election was signalled by a plume of white smoke rising from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel.
In line with tradition, this was followed by the pealing of bells from St Peter's Basilica.
Thousands of pilgrims had gathered in St Peter's Square eagerly awaiting the conclave of Cardinals' decisive ballot.
The conclave was made up of 115 Cardinals from 52 countries.
They began voting on Monday after a nine-day period of mourning for John Paul.
It was expected to take three or four days for a winner to emerge.
Observers say the new Pope - the 265th - will find the Catholic Church in a state of disarray.
It has been rocked by a series of sex abuse scandals and church attendances in Europe have been plummeting.
The choice facing the new leader is whether to deal with the problems by falling back on traditional doctrine - or modernising.
Suck it Trebek! And by Trebek I mean Seaegee!

Maybe he'll change the laws on marriage & the priesthood. I understand the total devotion to god but maybe allowing marriage would lessen the molestation issues. Celibacy your entire life?! Crazy! And another thing...the non use of birth control. Times need to change.

Frankly, I'd like to see a really strong pope come out & take on secularism. Leadership without guidance is leading to the decay of modern society IMHO. Political correctness in all its forms is leading to the exclusion of theological guidance & the abolition of free speech if it has to do with religion.
Long live John Paul II.

Not unless priests are allowed to marry little boys.

Probably, being Methodist I've always thought they should be allowed to marry.
