Even to a non-Christian like me the choice seems fine. He doesn't appear, based on his past, to be too radically liberal or incredibly conservative either. I feel like it's good to elect a pope from the Americas considering how that is where the true strength of the Catholic church is these days. Considering his experience dealing with political and church-related turmoil in Argentina, he looks like someone who might have the skills and reputation to move things in the right direction for them.

Plus, he picked a unique name. It's too hard to keep track of all the ones who picked Paul and Benedict. Good to see some creativity and such.
