We are not quite sure why this qualifies as news, but as it only happens every few decades, we are sure at least a few of our readers are at least mildly interested.
Reports indicate that white smoke has just emerged from the Sistine Chapel, meaning the Catholic Cardinals have elected their next (last?) pope on the second day of their Conclave.
*BREAKING AND THE NEW POPE IS….
2013 Gold Eagles As Low As $74.99 Over Spot At SDBullion.com!
NEW POPE IS Argentina’s Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
Thousands are reportedly gathering around the vatican for the official announcement





Nah, there’s no new pope yet. They’re just in there hotboxin the sistine chapel.
Hopefully the new popes name isn’t Peter or Pietro or else Im building a bunker lol. (Refereing to the last pope prophecy of St Malachy)
I wouldn’t be worried unless the new Pope is in his 80′s. If they elect a young guy in his 60′s that gives us some time to prepare our bunker’s.
I’m just wondering when JPMorgan starts to hypothecate their gold and silver. I wonder if the UN will beat them to it or JP will use the UN to do it.
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
That is the complete Lords Prayer!!!
Or, we could update it for today’s reality…
Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily fiat.
Forgive us the near $17 trillion in debt, as we forgave all those WWII debts.
And lead us not into profligacy but deliver us from those who spend more than we have,
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.
Amen!
WHO GIVES A FLYING FVCK ABOUT THIS???
The Popes have looked the other way for hundreds of years while their priests abused innocent children, scarring them for life.
BTW, the Russian word for ‘butt’ is ‘попа’ (pronounced ‘popa,’ which is very close to ‘Pope’).
‘Nuff said.
The next pope actually is part of the big picture in the world today and just might play a role in some minor way as far as the future of gold and silver prices. Jim Willie talks about Vatican gold also. Supposedly the Vatican sits a a nice big pile of the shiny. Yes, the Catholic church has lost its way. Eventually it will get back on track.
“Yes, the Catholic church has lost its way. Eventually it will get back on track.”
Agreed. But probably not until The Prince of Peace returns and whips some a$$ in the temple!
Agree with MAMMOTH HOW IS THE NEW POPel germaine to the conversation.Whats next on deck Dancing with the stars update.
LETS Stick WITH THE UNDERLYING THEME OF THIS WEBSITE: SILVER
Well, the title of this article is: ”WHITE SMOKE: NEW POPE BERGOGLIO CHOSEN”. Given this, talking about the new Pope or the Catholic church IS germane to this conversation. As always, anyone not interested in this subject can always skip reading it.
One of the truly great things about this web site is that The Doc allows us all great latitude in what is said here. This IS a blessing! I have been on other sites that were so tightly controlled that thinking outside the box was not only not encouraged but STRONGLY discouraged. When The Doc says to “speak your mind” here, he means it.
This guy is a Jesuit … The Vatican’s spies… These guys are cut throat…. During the Cold War, the Vatican’s ambassador to the USA had fresher intel on the USSR than Reagan did from the CIA thanks to the Jesuits
wonder if they will fill him on on the money laundering, the gold i the vaults…
A new leader for the Vatican pedophile priests? SSDP (Same Sh*t, Different Pope). I heard from Mark Dice that the reason why the priests have chosen the Pope to be Latino is because the people in Latin America are starting to turn themselves from catholic into protestant so the Pope will be here to stop that.
