With the media and blogs going on and on and on about the simple, humble and poor-loving new pope all summed up with the choice of this name, Francis, I pose just a slight "deep breath" and ask you, dear reader, to consider that this Jesuit pope MAY be thinking of some of his own Francises:
St Francis Xavier SJ
St Francis Regis SJ
St Francis Borgia (yeah, really) SJ
St Francis de Geronimo SJ
Then again, maybe he's just a really big Pixies fan:*

| Black Francis: Actually had a band called the Bad Catholics. We need a pope from BAD CATHOLICISTAN to reach out to the large population of BAD CATHOLICS! |
*Nineties? Anyone? Anyone?
