NEW POP ELECTED ALERT!!
White smoke has been seen...
RE: International News Stories - Snooks - 08-05-2025 18:16
It's Robert Francis Prevost.
The first American to assume the role.
He is apparently seen as a moderate and a centrist. Sounds to me like he will somewhat or maybe largely align with the vision of his predecessor Pope Francis. If so and it's a big IF then maybe not a bad choice.
Pope Leo XIV
RE: International News Stories - lovebabes56 - 08-05-2025 18:19
speaks both Italian and Spanish and was recently made a cardinal by Francis in 2023
Have to admit it's probably been one of the shortest Papal elections I can remember speaking now

Just when you thought the American Religious Nutters couldn't get more insufferable, their boy gets to be God-Botherer in Chief.

Has Trump claimed credit for it yet?
RE: International News Stories - lovebabes56 - 09-05-2025 07:29
That's what I have been wondering.....But he has slammed JD Vance and Trump so I'm beginning to think Vance isn't likely to get a warm welcome in the Vatican anytime soon. I do think he does deserve a thread on here however, could be quite an interesting Pope. Not only that I believe he is one of the youngest Popes we've had..
Mind you, had they sent orange smoke after the white smoke, we probably would have known then that Trump had SOMETHING to do with it
but knowing Trump as we do - he'll want to be the first world leader to meet the new Pope and probably was the first to congratulate him on his election.

Why would he need a thread, unless he is in the news all of the time it'd be pointless, this thread can be used to discuss it for now.
RE: International News Stories - Charlemagne - 09-05-2025 12:24
I was begining to worry when it was announced that we had an American Pope.
Well Donald can walk on water. He said that himself
Has he congratulated Leo yet?
RE: International News Stories - skully - 09-05-2025 12:47
Yeah, at first glance it's oh, an American, but, he was really close to Francis and has the same sort of outlook, so hopefully he'll be a decent Pope and unite rather than divide. He apparently named himself after a progressive pope, so hopefully he'll be somebody that continues to call out hate and those that spread it.
Hey, MAGA are apparently angry he was chosen, so to me, that means he's the right man for the job.
