NEW POPE

NEW POPE

White smoke + bells.

Third vote was the charm.

Edit: Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict the 16th

De Gloria Olivae according to St. Malachy

It should be quite an experience seeing this Pope in his native homeland of Germany this summer at World Youth Day 2005!

    I love these kinds of rituals and the white smoke signals. Its so.. grand and ceremonial. One of the reasons I feel like I relate to catholicism more than other denominations is because a lot of catholic ceremonies remind me of hindu ceremonies, the ornate cathedrals have the same exquisiteness (although very different style) as a lot of the big temples.
