We have a new Pope! Pope Francis. God bless him. He speaks strongly and with great kindness. I like him a lot already. His Twitter account is now active, https://twitter.com/Pontifex. From news.va, story on his first Angelus here.

The right of this picture shows some bunting going up on St. Benedict Church, Richmond, VA, in yellow and white, Vatican colors. To the left, some cherry trees that have begun blooming on Monument Avenue.
