Holy Smoke! We have a new Pope.

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Hopefully the new one won't be from south of the border.

American, born in Chicago.

Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Pravost.

[BackAgain]

I don’t speak Italian. And my Latin was always weak.

So I wish the Yankee Pope would toss in a little English!

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

A lot of hoopla about something so insignificant.
Don't mean that as disrespectful, but it is a guy in a white costume.
And usually a really old guy that has lived his life in a bubble of existence that is completely disconnected from the rest of the world

.

Fairly young, age 70 this September.

He chose to wear a more traditionally Papal vestment.

Per the opinion of one of my favorite Catholic analysts, it could have been worse. Not my pick, but hopefully not as bad as Jorge Bergoglio. I will spend a lot of time listening to those whose opinions I trust.

This is a very interesting situation that will have an effect on Trump

The new pope is American (Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost) and now the American Christians may be moving away from Trump.

It would be nice if Leo moved at least some of the RCC's operations here to America. Rome , Georgia might be a good location and that would keep in line with the idea of the church being Roman.

At least it's not 'Guido'.

why? you know not all Christians are Catholic, right?

and why would they "move away" from Trump because of who the Pope is?

 

[DigitalDrifter]

'Robert Prevost'.

 

[rightwinger]

I never thought they would pick an American for Pope.

Wish him well

Breaking News.
White smoke is currently rising from the rooftops of the Sisteen Chapel.
That means a new Pope has been chosen.

In about forty minutes, his Holiness will be announced to the world.

Nice pun.

Make the Pope Great Again

 

[airplanemechanic]

I thought it would have been hilarious had they sent up some orange smoke in the meantime.

 

[Blaster]

USA, USA, USA

 

[Moonglow]

On the tv networks now.

A US born Pope.

But not a Trump Pope

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Not a good sign:

"He is expected to build on Pope Francis’ reforms."

 

[initforme]

He is looking to build on the reforms of pope Francis. According to what I am reading.

Not a good sign:

"He is expected to build on Pope Francis’ reforms."

Yes helping people is awful. Great sign.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Wow! We have an American pope! Did not see that coming.

 

[struth]

Wow! We have an American pope! Did not see that coming.

I am not surprised, not after Trump floated the idea of an American Pope.

You would. He's got a history of abuse and is a James Martin ass kisser.

As a bishop, placed a pedo priest in a neighborhood right next to a Catholic school. Bad move.
