A Yank, well it had to happen sometime and given that seven out of nine current Supreme Court judges are Catholic ...  Still, it must have been difficult to find an American who speaks so many languages fluently ...

I would have loved it if he had chosen "Bob the 1st."  Guys named Bob (and variants thereof) all around the world would have felt grand!

You'd just have to love "Pope Bob."

If he can lean on the Catholic Supreme Court Judges, this country might be better off.

It could be fun to have a Pope Beer I.

 My father had his marriage to my mother annulled so in the eyes of Catholic church I'm bastard - Got that going for me!

I loved what Steve Colbert did that night - his commentary on the pope ended with a Chicago section, which concluded with a Saturday Night Live inflected "Da Prayers." Perfect!
