More Pope Press
Reuters makes some interesting word choices to announce the new pope. [See intro below]
"Arch-conservative"? Read: much more conservative than Phillip Pullella and Crispian Balmer.
"...stunned moderates"/"surprise choice"? Sounds dramatic, but is it just me, or is this the guy that every single major media outlet has been reporting as a favorite for the last week?? And of course by moderates, the writers mean social moderates, as opposed to economics ones. Ahh, objective journalism.
