Quote"HABEMUS PAPAM FRANCISCUM" or "We haz Pope."

 :lol: Guess that's a loose translation.

ETA: That being said, that was kind of a weak article. Seemed like there should've been a few more paragraphs that got cut off.

Steve Benson, Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist for the Arizona Republic newspaper, is an ex-Mormon and atheist. He has been a long time blogger on The Mormon Curtain and other sites critical of the LDS church. He is also the grandson of former church president Ezra Taft Benson and a graduate of BYU. Have no doubt you will see some input by him into the mix.

Agreed. One of the commentators said it ended abruptly for him too. I was also expecting a bit more than a sudden 180 degrees to "join the atheists."
