Lots of rumblings about his silence during the Dirty War (and no, that's not a euphemism for Hoy's Bruceling fantasies).

Plus rumors about what happened during that whole "lost weekend" at Hitler and Eva's beachfront villa in Santa Cruz back in the 60's.

Amidst all the celebrating that he is first Pope since Gregory the Great* (a Syrian) in the 700's that isn't a European, is the fact that Francis I is the son of an Italian immigrant to Argentina. So it satisfies everyone...a white Italian South American.

On the plus side, he seems like a humble guy...so far. He refused to live in the Church Palace as a Buenos Aires Cardinal, rode the bus everyday to the Diosies and didn't have servants. Maybe he will be a less monarchical Pope, though the office has a way of corrupting people.

EDIT: *Whoops, it was Gregory III who was from Syria

A: Loyalty to an institution has given me the strength to ignore all kinds of horrors, so I think this is a skill that is transferrable from situation to situation.
