There's a flood of new information moment by moment about the new Pope. Here's Scott Richert's impression. As usual, many will be disappointed that he actually appears to be Catholic.
As the archbishop of Buenos Aires and the president of the
Argentine Episcopal Conference, Cardinal Bergoglio has not shied away from
confrontations with the left-wing Argentinean government over moral issues,
while at the same time presenting the Church’s social teaching as an alternative
both to the depredations of capitalism and the materialism of liberation
theology. On abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, and contraception, Bergoglio
has been a tireless advocate of the Church’s moral teaching, though he has lost
many political battles, most famously in his opposition to homosexual adoption,
which he declared “a form of discrimination against children.”
