Calamity Kris Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Uno and I discussed the significance of his Pontification choice of Pope Francis, being as he's a Jesuit. I asked Uno to post his thoughts but he said he didn't want to get the Catholic community all worked up........ Maybe someone else will explain it. I'm not Catholic so it doesn't mean much to me...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not Catholic so it doesn't mean much to me......He's right. We don't want to turn it into a religious discussion.Best to keep it to a current events/sea bird on the chimney discussion. Or fashion maybe. Like how come when the Cardinals take off their fancy hats, they have another one underneath?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Mushman Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Well, I will not take it to religion, but as a lapsed Catholic who still greatly respects the foundational ethical values the church reinforced (with my parents, of course) I think it is a very good thing that a Jesuit has been selected. They have great integrity and warmth, as well. I expect integrity with this selection - we shall see. Good luck to Uno and all our Catholic breatheren. The basic ethics and values of our Christian-Judeo "ethic" (and some others) have been the historic foundation of our society, and those values are worth preserving, IMHO. Sorry if this crossed your line UB, I focus on the values. The smoke and birds are all good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 ἄξιος ! Jesuits are known for their education and intellectualism. And the founding of schools, colleges, universities, and, to a lesser extent hospitals. They receive a solid classical education, reasonably well versed in a number of areas as they can be call to serve anywhere at any time under almost any conditions (which is why they are sometimes referred to as "God's Marines"). Part of their training is "to conquer oneself and to regulate one's life in such a way that no decision is made under the influence of any inordinate attachment."Obviously a quick thumbnail sketch of them, and overlooking some of the more controversial aspects in the history of the Society of Jesus.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 First pope born outside Europe since St. Gregory III (Syria) and first from the Americas. First Pope from the Southern Hemisphere. First Jesuit pope. First to adopt a new, unused and non-composed regnal name since Lando (913–914).

Yukon Charley, SASS Life #14739 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I guess I just don't understand the need for all that celebration. All them folks in Rome acted like they just won the Super Bowl once the selection was made. I cringed & drank heavily when our "leader" was elected.

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 He's a soccer fan who rode public transit from his personal apartment to the archdiocese offices every day, rather than staying in the cardinal's apartment. If I were a Catholic priest, I'd be a Jesuit. From my observations, their two highest priorities are teaching and doing the works of Jesus. I wish Pope Francis well.

True, but unlike our "leader," this one won't cost you anything unless you voluntarily "buy-in" to it all.

The big question is would you want to be a member of a religion that would have you as its leader? If asked the same question I would say er ah um well NO!
