It seems past Popes were from Europe exclusively. I'm glad to see they thought outside the box and got someone from somewhere else. Nothing against Europe, I feel the past Popes served well. I expect to see some different ideas.

Don't expect anything on homosexuality or other kind of related issures soon. There is a lot of research behind the decisions, not just one man deciding "what is right."
