Really silly brainwashed young lady

I can't believe this... I just saw on the BBC a news report showing the reaction of people in St. Peter's Square to the announcement of the election of a new Pope. At the moment they took these pictures, the people had just seen the white smoke indicating the election of a new Pope (as opposed to a black smoke, you know).

One of the persons waiting at the square is this young woman, very thrilled at seeing the white smoke, she's almost drawn into tears, and you can hear her say "Oh my God, I can't believe it!".

What? You can't believe the Cardinals have chosen a new Pope? You thought that the Cardinals would stay there locked up until the end of times without selecting anybody to replace John Paul II? Wasn't that going to happen anyway sooner or later?

This lady puts a really huge question mark over the intelligence of the Catholics of the world.
