latin is "dead". Italian is its own language.

And the Vatican technically isn't in Italy, it is it's own country isn't it?

Yes, and they us Latin in Mass

more or less. it's akin to a state

It is actually most accurate to say it is in italy, as it is. It just isn't a part of the Italian government.

Thanks for the clarification as I really wasn't sure.

My apologies for the cynical / snide remarks... hopefully this will play out for a better future for those of the RCC Faith

And he's very, very pale and white

Pope Francis the First

First non European Pope. According to CNN he was second to Benedict during that Conclave.

Francis, the Patron of the Poor. Symbolic of change within the Church?

Not a China man then. Maybe next time!

First Latin American Pope
First Non-European in over 1000 years
First Jesuit
First to introduce a new name.


But mostly.... same old same old really.


Although this guy rides the bus, he lives a humble, poor lifestyle (until now anyway) and Francis is seemingly to move the church back to it's humble, poor roots.
