It is reported that the Cardinals elected a new pope on the second day of voting. The new Pope is Robert Prevost, an American, who will assume the name Leo XIV.
Ain't that something? An American pope. Who'd have thunk it?
I know it was a big deal in the past, but in current times, I really don't get why so many people...even non-Catholics...get so worked up about the Catholic party electing a new political leader.
This guy's from Illinois? Makes me wonder...is he as left wing as the last one? Is he going to continue pushing the Catholic church to the left? I suppose if he's not from Chicago he may be OK...Illinois is actually a pretty conservative state outside of Cook county. At any rate, I'm not Catholic so no skin off my teeth either way.

Now the question is, liberal or conservative????
Trump reportedly said:" I look forward to working with the first American Pope"....

Well, just ran across a post with more information about the new Capo de dutti dapi of the Catholics.
He's from Chicago and he's a leftist.
The devolution of the Catholic church continues apace.
My sympathies to Catholics the world over.
