Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio from Argentina was announced as the Catholic Church's new pope Wednesday night. For those hoping for a more progressive leader, here's what I know about the fresh 76(!)-year-old Jesuit: He calls adoption by gays and lesbians is a "form of discrimination against children," yet urges "respect" for homosexuals. And on the passage of marriage equality in Argentina: "Let's not be naive, we're not talking about a simple political battle; it is a destructive pretension against the plan of God. We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God."
How respectful.
How respectful.
