Considering some of the past awardees of that honor, if I was the Holy Father, I’d turn it down.
No, I’m not holding my breath.

He in many ways seems to be the Obama Pope, so to me it makes sense. Been over two weeks in office before this nomination though.

For his “call to end violence in Syria”? Is that how low the bar is now? They’re giving out prizes for wishful thinking?

Theyre giving out prizes for wishful thinking?I'm trying to estimate how many Christian lives in Syria were "saved or created" by wishful thinking in the West. I'd nominate him for the peace prize if he'd call for another crusade to retake all the formerly Christian nations forced into Muslim slavery. You know - Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Libya, Lebanon ...

I would consider Mother Teresa to be good company.

Anyone can nominate anyone. I doesn’t mean anything but that the Argentine congress wants some attention. “Don’t pay any attention to our encroachment in the Falklands and on the border with Chile ... LOOK, A SQUIRREL!”

Yassar Arafat? Algore?
THE WON™?
The quality of the prize has gone down dramatically since 1979 (the year that Mother Teresa won) (IMHO).

I agree, the Nobel Peace Prize is a joke.
This latest "nomination" is just national boosterism on the part of the Argentines. That's all. They'll eat their words when he comes out against their belligerence on the Malvinas/Falklands.

And leave the field to those people? That’d be a shame.

No offense intended to the Pope, but when did we stop giving the prize to people who actually fostered peace? Let me recommend General SiSi of Egypt who removed from power a terrorist regime in Cairo devoted to wiping out Israel, that lynched Coptics in the street and burned their churches, supported by Baraqus Huseeinus Obama.
Is he not worthy of a peace prize for saving Egypt from becoming the next Gaza Strip?
Or hey, how about Putin, who prevented Obama from arming terrorists in Syria by humiliating him?
To: Mrs. Don-o
They'll eat their words when he comes out against their belligerence on the Malvinas/Falklands. Will he come out against Argentina?

A meaningless prize.
A bowling trophy has more meaning.

I HOPE SO!
Back in 1982, Pope John Paul II intervened directly and dramatically to prevent war. Went straight to the Argentine people and British people --- especially the young adults, the ones who would be thrown into bloody conflict ---and said "Don't do this!!"
It's said that the Argentine President, Mrs Kirchner, has discarded recovering the Malvinas-Falklands by force. So they say. If it's true that there's no imminent risk of war, can't even imagine Pope Francis "intervening" to tell the U.K. to back off and share the islands' resources, or whatever it is the Left-Peronists want. And even less so since Papa Francesco is an Argentinian, which destroys any possibility of his being received as a fair, neutral arbitrator.
