The new pope: Pope Francis


 Pope Francis


Hi everyone.
Okay so now I will be sharing my views on the new elected pope.

I am not a catholic person but since the news about the new pope being elected I became fascinated on this subject. It will not benefit me in anyway but it has always been a hobby of mine to learn about other cultures and religions.

So let me begin.
Today the newest pope called
 Jorge Mario Bergoglio"Pope Francis" Was elected.
The first thing that came into my mind was that, does he not look like the former pope?
I'm not being rude or disrespectful but doesn't anyone think it would be great to see a pope that isn't so old? Pope Francis is 78 I think. Not sure but I know he is old. Yes with age come knowledge and he is more wise but he is more likely not to last long as the pope.
Another thing that came to my mind while thinking about this new pope, I thought to myself. Would it not be cool if the new pope could be black or Asian? This would be a wonderful thing to happen. But the whole world knows that a black or Asian pope would not be allowed. Not due to racism but due to history and the background and the perception on what a Pope must be.
He must be
  • Old
  • White
  • Frail
  • White 
As I said before I do not tend to disrespect anyone and if you feel I have in anyway. Please do leave a comment and let me know what I need to change.
I only want to share my point of view and what I think.

Thank you for reading.
