So, who's the next Pope?

So a new pope has been chosen on the second ballot but not yet named.

The Catholic faithful have begun to assemble at St. Peter's square.

Let's hope they show a bit more decorum than the last time this happened (they got tired of shouting "Habemus Papum" and began singing Italian soccer chants).

Edit: Getting selected on the second ballot indicates a very popular candidate. Also the CNN live internet feed is fucked.
Edit 2: CBS feed is working.
Edit 3: FIRST AMERICAN POPE! Cardinal Robert Prevost, born in Chicago, spent most of his life in Peru. Crowd seems stunned.
Edit 4: Pope Leo XIV.
Edit 5: CBS noting the previous Pope Leo XIII was arguably the last "major social reform advocate"
Edit 6: CBS reporter is verklempt..."I had the man over for dinner at my home two months ago!"
Edit 7: Swiss guards playing pope's "entrance music" as he appears on the balcony....at first it sounds like Darth Vader theme.

The best thing about picking a Pope today is it will drive Trump's English Trade Photo Op off the front page.

Heh....Fox News has Trump's cunning stunt relegated to a little 2 inch square box along with 11 other "top stories" at the bottom of their website.

The Washington Post has snapshots of front-runners for the papacy HERE


Is the world ready for a black pope?

The wild card is Fridolin Ambongo Besungu, Cardinal of the Congo.
Besungu has the highest overall approval rating at 40%....but has an even higher NEGATIVE approval rating of 45% A black Trump! He garners a lot of support from arch-conservatives for his simple Christian message: It's not about Salvation anymore, it's about ridding the world of homos.

Pope Frido the first.

I wouldn't be surprised if he were elevated to the Papacy and declared a Christian crusade against queers worldwide.

Trivia: the Cardinal of Jersualem is his excellency Cardinal Pierre Pizzaballa. Helluva name for a pope: Pope Pizzaballa the first. Italians would love it!

Trump deems the Papacy to be beneath his station and dignity …

It's too bad, in a way, that the Second Vatican Council simplified and modernized so many things. Even non-Catholics could enjoy the spectacle of an old-style papal coronation, with that ridiculous beehive-shaped crown the popes used to wear.

wow, that's both ugly and testament (see what i did there?) to the historical chasm between the top (rich) catholic power masters and the poor they are supposed to shepherd

That's why they discontinued it -- at some point during the Vat II Council, the Pope laid his tiara on the altar. Since then the Pope wears an ordinary bishop's miter, or a plain white zucchetto (yarmulke).
 
Leo was born and raised in the south suburbs of Chicago, where he was part of St. Mary of the Assumption parish near Dolton, Illinois, according to a Chicago Sun-Times report. His Midwestern roots, combined with decades spent abroad, have made him a figure who bridges cultural and geographic divides in the global Church.

Leo represents the "dignified middle of the road," the Rev. Michele Falcone, a priest in the Order of St. Augustine, told The New York Times on May 2.

Ordained in 1982, Leo received a doctorate in canon law in Rome at the Pontifical College of St. Thomas Aquinas. He served for two decades in Peru, where he served as Bishop of Chiclayo from 2015 to 2023, and became a naturalized citizen. Prior to that, he served at the Order of St. Augustine, long before being appointed by Francis in 2023 to head the Dicastery for Bishops, a powerful Vatican office that oversees episcopal appointments worldwide, per the Associated Press.

trump's probably already put in an offer for it so he can add it to the other tasteless decor changes in the Oval Office.
 
do ya think trump knew this before posting 'nice things' about the new pope?

Cardinal Robert Prevost has been elected as the first U.S.-born pope in history, choosing the name Pope Leo XIV. But the 69-year-old head of the Roman Catholic Church has recently used his X account to criticize Vance and Trump

"JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others," the newly now-pope tweeted Feb. 3, linking to a National Catholic Reporter column by writer Kat Armas with the same title as his post.

Armas' article was in response to vance's offering that you should love others only after loving your own family:
"The problem with this hierarchy is that it feeds the myth that some people are more deserving of our care than others," Armas wrote in that piece. "It's a framework that makes sense in a world governed by scarcity and fear, where protection comes at the expense of others. But Jesus never speaks of love as something to be rationed. He speaks of love as abundance — a table where there is enough for everyone."

on Feb. 13th, the now new pope posted a link to another article about the poor treatment of immigrants, and retweeted a post on April 14th by Rocco Palmer about the recent deportations:
"As Trump & Bukele use Oval to [mock] Feds’ illicit deportation of a US residen once an undoc-ed Salvadorean himself, now-DC Aux +Evelio asks, 'Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed? How can you stay quiet?'" Palmo posted, and which the newly elected pope shared with his thousands of followers at the time.

seems this new pope supports science and has given communion to divorced people, too.

Writing an op-ed for the National Catholic Reporter, he said, "The point wasn't about setting limits on love. It was about breaking them down — taking the gospel beyond familiar spaces and into contested ones. If anything, those of us in the United States are the ends of the earth, unimaginable to the earliest Christians. And yet, the gospel has already reached us. The real question is not whether love begins at home. It's what we do with it — how far we are willing to change ourselves and the world around us."
