Leo the XIV

[WrestlingRasta]

First ever American Pope.  Hugely surprised over here.

Chicago born, Villanova grad, Cubs fan. It is like they chose one of my family members.

He's the 14th Leo.   Can't he be a bit more original?   Pope Francis went that direction.   Congratulations to him and the church to avoid a protracted conclave.   Hoping for good things and a long papacy.  For full disclosure, I am not Catholic.

They’ve been numerating the Pope papacy name going back to like the third century, just part of the history and tradition. The first Leo was in the year of our Lord 440.  Since about the tenth century or so pretty much all of the Popes have been numerated. 
 

I’m not Catholic either but my wife was and I’m a huge fan of history, so…

John Paul and Francis are two notable exceptions to the enumerating.   I agree with what you are saying.   It has been a tradition.

I second the hugeness of surprise.  I had an African pope on my FanDuel.

[Tripnsweep]

I was hoping he'd pick Constantine. 

[Husker_Du]

sounded like the candidate from Africa had a lot of momentum. i wonder if he was 'too conservative' but perhaps that's just me overthinking things.

anyway, i'm happy an American got in for the first tiime.

Since the Chinese Catholics had the most at stake, time will tell. 

[VakAttack]

The Church is clearly trying to avoid the tariffs.

He's clearly a homosexual.

Guys on the radio were clowning around.   One guy from Chicago thought about the first thing the new Pope should have done was it to declare if he was a fan of White Sox or Cubs.  Did he wish peace and prosperity to all the world except Green Bay.   The other said, yeah, you can take the Pope out of Chicago but you can't take Chicago out of the Pope!!!

I thought it was funny banter.

They never have.

[lisa morales]

And there it is, the voice of God.  It would be an honor to be banned.  Go ahead do it.

Left eye Lisa likes what under Leo’s robe
