Never a doubt that America would rise to the top.

Trump will immediately try to co-opt him.

He’s a dual citizen (naturalized citizen of Peru), who did much of his service in Peru, which likely made a big difference in his ability to get elected.

Why isn't this guy speaking English? He's American, isn't he? I don't need this goddamn Spanish.

That ain't Spanish.

Is he considered likely to continue Pope francis's liberalization policies or is he expected to go in a more conservative direction?

 

[HintonJamesHeel]

That ain't Spanish.

I think he knows that.

For the first time in the entire history of the Catholic Church, a Pope has been elected who was born after I was born. Glad they elected someone young for a change.

That young man is only 69 years old. Probably going to grow his hair into a mohawk and fill the Vatican with rock music.

"About the new pope: Prevost, age 69, from Chicago, Illinois, is a leader with global experience, he spent much of his career as a missionary in South America and served as bishop in Peru. He most recently led a powerful Vatican office for bishop appointments. He is expected to build on Pope Francis’ reforms."

First American pope selects name in honor of our great Hollywood actor. As it should be.

The election was stolen!

He’s socially progressive, so he’s expected to continue Pope Francis’ policies.

I know that upsets you.

I was thinking it was for that beloved Chapel Hill restaurant from the ‘60’s ad ‘70’s, Leo’s.
