Though I swear I said "I want a progressive Pope" and every article about him I am reading says he's one of the most conservative there is...
He chose the name of Francis for a reason, he is not placid but he believes in dialogue. He'll be a very important figure.
He's a Jesuit named after the Franciscan patron Saint, and as it goes, my patron saint

He's from a persecuted out group, humble and very open to talking about things.
He draws redlines on issues such as contraception (except to prevent disease

) abortion and gay marriage.
He's the most balanced pope from what I've gathered.
