tentative optimism
Among the news reports and speculations on who the new Pope would be was a mention that the new Pope would have to choose his name, and that the name would signal something about his priorities. I thought for a moment "What name would I pick, if somebody made me Pope? I don't know a lot about saints, but probably Francis."
Half an hour later comes the announcement of Pope Francis.
