I’m rather surprised no one has posted pope news yet. So here you go. His past writings suggest a liberal bent, but popes are wont to surprise.
Robert Francis Prevost has become the first clergyman from the United States to lead the Roman Catholic church, ending the Vatican’s longstanding opposition to the idea of a US pontiff.
The 69-year-old from Chicago has taken the papal name Pope Leo XIV, a senior cardinal announced from the central balcony of St Peter’s Basilica on Thursday evening.
The announcement, which followed white smoke billowing from the chimney above the Sistine Chapel, prompted raucous celebration and delight among the 50,000 pilgrims and tourists in St Peter’s Square.
I’ll respectfully avoid the reference to guys from Chicago in Star Trek: Picard.
Far be it for me to claim any knowledge about the inner workings of the Vatican. This said, far be it for me to cast aspersions, as popes can veer wildly off expectations.
Just wait til he collaberates with the fraud and his gang of incompetants over that one guy they both knew well enough and get back to adjusting the laws to accept pedophilia. Little boys for him and little girls for the fat guy that simpsons knew and broadcast ahead of time.
Be more constructive on Beehaw. Yes, the Catholic church has turned a blind eye in the past, but you’re heading off into a weird excursion.
