In an unprecedented moment for the Catholic Church—and for American religious history—Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, a dual citizen of the United States and Peru, has been elected Pope.
I encourage the people in the comments to read the whole thing before just freaking out because he's labeled as American...it doesn't seem like he's the kind of guy Trump would want anything to do with
Saw a re-post by Brian Tyler Cohen on FB by Robert Prevost (Pope Leo XIV) where it said he was a critic of dump and Vance and their attacks on due process and poor treatment of immigrants.
There’s a tension between taking credit and blaming the new Pope for relegating his “big” trade “deal” with the UK to a footnote in the news cycle. He may consider it an attack and choose the victim card.
Hopefully this will be someone who will stand up to Dictator Donnie and show the world what a REAL Christian is........and not the fake liar christian that is Donnie the Dictator.......
It’s not, thank goodness! I’ve gotta look up his name (cardinal from New York), but he hated Francis. If he had been chosen, he would have taken erased every little bit of progress that Francis made within the church and the wider world.
The one that was chosen was close with Francis, who as we all know was seriously the best pope who has ever served in the role, I’m hoping his amazing spirit will have rubbed off on the new pope.
Woohoo! A Chicagoan! That’s huge to have the first American pope. I’m sure this will both please and anger Trump, being his affection for our city and state. I hope Pope Leo can continue what Francis began and there will be focus on God’s love, not hate, greed and supremacy
Does he do Exorcisms? Asking for a friend who has a demonic problem at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
🤣😂🤣😂

This is a totally reasonable ask.🤷♀️

He was close to Pope Francis I hope he carries on his legacy
This is great news!
I hope so too!

Hopefully this is their way of sticking it to Trump. See world, not all Americans are horrible like Trump!
I only hang out w/true blue Democrats…most of us were 🧑🏻🏫 Teachers 👨🏫 👩🏼🏫 🥰👍🏻❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
Yup. Maybe they were like America needs a comeback story.
As a Latino trans man who isn’t Catholic, I’m incredibly concerned AF about this because of the orange POS…..

This Pope was close to Pope Francis and based on his beliefs, I doubt he cares for Trump
How long until Trump takes credit?
Leo 14 was said to be the least American of the American Cardinals: humble and modest.
LOL, 30-40 mins.

Yeh! :-)
JD really did ☠️ the pope
As I stated earlier, keep Vance away from him.

I want to hope this is a counter to Trump. But why does it feel like somehow he will find a way to leverage this to his advantage?
He'll find a way...
Why do I have a BAD BAD feeling about this?
Because it was predicted this would happen. You are right
Not Catholic but a voice for decency is very much needed.
As soon as I saw an American elected poop, I was horrified
that you might say it was the guy from New York, who helped legitimize and prop up fascism by being best buddies with Donald Trump.
I was thinking this was the one that DJT wanted as pope.

thanks! I thought at first the bully got to the vatican
No
Honestly, F the catholic church, and any religion, that opposes the ordination of women as leaders within the their faith.
i’m not sure how to feel… i’m like split 50/50 on this but only time will tell i suppose 🥲
