Welcome to Talo Balka!


This is the forum for the NationStates region known as Talo Balka. We're a new region that came about as a result of a merger between New Talos and Franco Balka. We're still in the very early stages of building our new home. You're currently viewing our forum as a guest. This means you are limited to certain areas of the board and there are some features you can't use. If you join our community, you'll be able to access member-only sections, and use many member-only features such as customizing your profile, sending personal messages, and voting in polls. If you aren't a member of Talo Balka, New Talos, or Franco Balka, or unless you're somehow involved with one of those regions (i.e, as an ambassador), there really isn't much point in registering.

Topics of the week are now renamed to "serious topics of the week". And with the new name comes an all-new lot of topics for us to disagree over.

This week: what do you guys think of the current Catholic pope?

I think he's a decent guy. Pretty cool making Catholics follow their own philosophy and all.

I suppose my response is about as generally simple. I like that he's pretty humble, in that he's gone out of his way to reject the indulgent lifestyle of the papacy. I also like that he's subtly more progressive with regards to civil rights and equality (He has a fine line to walk there in order to keep the fundamentals from storming the Vatican.) Finally, he's done diplomacy between nations (Cuba/US) and speaks out against climate change. So all around, he's a pretty cool guy. He is the Pope, after all, kind of hard not to be.
