Holy Smoke! We have a new Pope.

This is me telling you what you can do with your butthole meme calling defending one's national security against criminal gangs totally psychopathic while you promote terror attacks against innocent people firebombing their cars because they took your advice and bought an EV, just because the CEO of the company cared enough to help locate waste and fraud in excessive government spending.

I love that we have an American pope that isn’t Trump and will continue he policies of Pope Francis.

You're Catholic?

 

[mudwhistle]

He spoke Spanish, but not English. Deal with it, skippy.

He spoke some Spanish because he was stationed in South America, you ass.

Anyone who's learned Spanish knows it's Latin roots.......and if you speak Italian you're almost speaking Spanish. They're closely related. You just pronounce certain words differently. There are a few different words used in each language that are different, but if he's fluent in Spanish I can see why he would want to speak it, especially since most Hispanics are Catholic.

The majority were appointed by Francis, so New boss same as the old boss.

Yeah, progress just stopped here in a Merica for confused white man to check his old maps.

The last Leo to sit the Papacy was a social reformer.

The last pope to take the name Leo was Pope Leo XIII. He served as the head of the Roman Catholic Church from February 20, 1878, until his death on July 20, 190325. Born Vincenzo Gioacchino Raffaele Luigi Pecci in 1810, he was notable for his efforts to modernize the Church, promote social reform, and encourage harmony between science and religion34. Leo XIII was the longest-lived pope in history, dying at the age of 935.


His papacy was marked by significant diplomatic engagement, the revival of Thomist philosophy, and the issuance of important encyclicals such as Rerum Novarum, which addressed the rights and conditions of workers4. After his death, he was succeeded by Pope Pius X.

Except that Leo XIV is an Augustinian monk and has a different slant on Catholicism of good versus evil.

Augustine's Resolution to the Problem of Evil: A Theodicy of Good and Privation • Philosophy Institute

Augustine addresses the dilemma of God's goodness in the presence of evil by defining evil as a privation of good, rather than a substantive entity. This perspective allows him to reconcile the existence of evil with a benevolent, omnipotent God, arguing that evil serves to highlight and enhance...

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

He floated himself fuckup

 

[Delldude]

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

Sounds like some politicians.

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

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

I never thought they would pick an American for Pope.

Wish him well

Maybe they are being savvy.

The days of speaking Latin from the balcony in St. Peter's Square are over.

A guy who can speak idiomatic English on an international stage is being more media savvy.

Neither do Catholics.

Heck, I'm a seriously lapsed Catholic, and even i find that kind of comment offensive.

Francis took his name from the 13th century St. Francis of Assisi, who rejected wealth and wanted to care for the poor.


The last pope to take the name Leo, Leo XIII, focused much of his 1878-1903 papacy on advocating for the rights of workers, calling for fair pay, fair working conditions, and the right to join unions.
