I think he will be a great pope for the church, he lives a humble life and seems to be very kind. I for one am happy with the choice.

#Pope Francis ......humble and good guy Very impressive

The more I hear about Pope Francis, the more I like this man! He is impressive. I believe he's a wise choice to be Pope. JMHO, of course!

I hope we all learn from Pope Francis' humility. I, too, need to reassess my ways and follow in his footsteps.

Pope Francis' Humility: Stops by Hotel to Pay Bill shar.es/eGt0V via @BreitbartNews #servantleadership

This non-Catholic is elated and thinks it is a wise and wonderful choice! Pope Francis seems to be a man of humility, poverty, and grace; seeking to serve God and his fellow man with these traits and with his position. Catholic or Protestant, Christians around the world should keep Pope Francis in their prayers as he seeks to serve God and humanity.

@USATOpinion Go pope! Time for the whole world to turn back to God! :)

Impressive about Pope Francis, at an age most spend their days playing Bingo, he assumes responsibility for 1.2 billion people. #retirement

As a Catholic, I feel in very good hands with our new Pope.

i hope as he has demonsrated living in a plain apartment in Buenas Aires that he believes in a simple life and sells all property of the Vatican made of gold to help feed poor people.

I really admire Pope Francis because of his humility.

Is electing an older Pope now the Catholics version of term limits?

@USATOpinion disappointing choice from the standpoint that things will remain status quo when change is needed. #HabemusPapam

@USATOpinion #pope #tellusatoday everybody wants a new church, a revolutionary church, but he's old school, very conservative

Pope Francis is 76 years old and has 1 lung. The Vatican is not in rebuilding mode. Their philosophy obviously remains win now.

Another elderly pope expected to be traditionalist was John XXIII; he proved a reformer who convened Vatican II. May Francis follow!

The newly elected pope of the Catholic church, pope Francis, is 76 years old....Keep dreaming!

I'm told Pope Francis is 76 years old. Clearly The Vatican still thinks its premiership window is open. #quickfixdrafting #noyouthpolicy

New Pope Francis 1st anti gay ironic an old celibate man feels able to comment on what makes a family???

The world has a new Pope - Francis. The old one, Benedict, is still alive. Nothing is stopping the Vatican being called Frankie & Benny's.
