THE priests of Catholic Churches in Llanelli have hailed the appointment of the new Pope.

Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, of Argentina, greeted thousands of well- wishers at St Peter's Square in Vatican City last week after he was announced as Pope Francis.

And, closer to home, priest of Burry Port and Kidwelly Catholic parish, Benedict Koledoye, said he was thrilled with the appointment.

"I am very happy because it's a very good thing," he said.

    “He supports slavery, he invited his friend from South Africa Robert Mugabe, if he don't change with the times, there will be nothing left of the church. We don't need them in this day and age.”
