New world leader selected.

mckenney99 · May 8, 2025

I'm not Catholic but we are witnessing history, again. A new Pope has been selected. Very quick and a new world leader is selected.
Please keep this in a historical perspective.

There have been 4 popes in my lifetime, about to be 5, but this is a new trend for there to be so many in such a short time.

The one they’ve been looking at is 59. Should be around longer than his predecessors.

I guess my own experience over the years, and the reading the history behind the Catholic religion have made me a cynical person when it comes to believing and following. I'd rather just do unto others, and leave it at that . . . . . .

A new pope was not elected, but a new Bishop of Rome was elected. Which is one and the same. Who is now a world leader. Wishing whoever it is the very best.

An American Pope from Chicago. First ever! Pope Leo XIV

May he govern wisely!

I do find it funny that all the main stream media, their talking head experts and all their polls were about as accurate on their predictions of who the new Pope would likely be, as they have proven to be on predicting the Presidency.

Prevost is not an uncommon name in Louisiana . Obviously we pronounce it differently than what I'm hearing on TV .

I predict that deep dish pizza will soon appear on the Vatican menu.

mckenney99 · May 8, 2025

Maybe a CUBS, BEARS and/or BLACKHAWKS banner hanging from the Vatican balcony?

He’s been in Peru for most of his life, so unlikely . . .

Wait. What?

Duly noted.

Helped change a tire on the local Church van, an hour ago, and they gave me two of these.

Actually one Priest reported that he was a very good cook and had made them all pizza when he was in Peru.

Also reported he is a Cubs fan, but we will try not to hold that against him. It clearly shows he is a man of faith.

New pope? Yes. But a world leader? I’m not so sure.

Wish him the best though.

Rustyt1953 · May 8, 2025

The Pope holds sway over 1.4 billion followers. He will soon be leading a hefty chunk of the world.

In my lifetime, I grew up with 4 Italian Popes, then a Polish Pope, a German Pope, and an Argentine Pope. Now a Cubs fan from Chicago? Inconceivable!
His mother is from Louisiana, so he has some Cajun background. I've read he made pizzas for his staff in Peru when he was stationed there.
May he do well in his position. Maybe the first one ever with a math degree (from Villanova), before he entered the seminary and got a Masters of Divinity, and later a Doctorate, in Rome.
