Katholic Kiwi Kathedral (Catholocism General) - Byzantine? Ethnic? Roman? It doesn't matter. It's a place for Catholic Kiwis to discuss Catholicism and inquirers to inquire

How long does it usually take for the new pope to get dolled up for the cameras? This is the first time I've followed it live.

45 to 60 minutes.

I did not expect such a quick conclave.

Like a foot to two feet I think.

What do we know about him?

 

[Blackstar]

I don't remember, is his election good or bad? Based or woke?

The Jews have the faith of Abraham, and are still fucked without Christ.

Also to be fair to the non believers I do have more respect for their faith even in the enemy more than I have for the atheist or the agnostic.

The Jews don't have it either. Jesus is pretty explicit about this in John 8:54-58:

Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

Abraham didn't have a notional concept of an Aristotelian unmoved mover that he speculated about like Moses Maimonedes. He knew the eternally begotten Word of God. The Old Testament Jews were trinitarian; that was a major focus of Early Christian apologetics (St. Justin Martyr is the first to pop into my head).

Besides, Hasidics believe in crazy stuff like Kaballah and reincarnation. They absolutely don't have the faith of Abraham.

Idk how to feel about another pope from the New World. I was hoping (in vain) that the African would win.

(Edit: that being said, I'm cooking burgers in his honour)

He was an Augustine Missionary in Peru.

 

[It's Little Alex Horne]

I know nothing about this guy, and he seems to not have been one of the frontrunners?

Anyone know the low-down on him?

 

[ANightOwl]

What do we know about him?

Not very conservative not very liberal.Went to Villanova and served a couple of years as a parish priest in Northern Rome. served in the Vatican diplomatic corps for most of his career. He was mostly posted in South America during his tenure. He’s of the Augustinian order. Speaks more languages than JPII. The kind of swing-back that’s very much expected after a more pastoral pope like Francis.

 

[Looseleaf Paper]

Neat. I am praying for his success.
