The bookies favoured papal candidate took his place as God's representative on Earth just 24 hours after the Conclave first began. Popularity, it seems, was no handicap for this Vatican veteran.
Perhaps he was the safe interim bet that many were anticipating, after all, at 78 he is not likely to be Pope for more than a handful of years, unlike his predecessor.
So what can we expect from this new pontiff?
More of the same, no doubt. More homophobia and heterosexism; more misogynistic ignorance to block women clergy; escalating numbers of third world cases of HIV as a direct result of the papal ban on the use of condoms.
If ever there was a country that was responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent civilians and deserving of a host of unfavourable UN resolutions, it would have to be the Vatican!
In addition, Pope Benedict XVI and all the Cardinals should be tried for crimes against humanity!
The Theocracy Alert - Early Warning System has been adjusted accordingly!
