That was quick !!
I just came back from a walk and Hubby ran in like, WHITE SMOOOOOOOKKKKKEEE! Turn on the teeveeeee!
😂
Millions of people all over the world, watching a balcony window. Wen papam?
😂
Who papem?
I was technically eligible, but I don't think it is me.
Ha ha, not far off. An American.
I was astonished it's an American.
Cool Pope name. Leo XIV.
It went so fast, too. I guess the other candidates were off-limits to either side, so they were like, "Yo, bros, what about Bob? Everyone likes Bob."
😂
I heard that his previous role had him travelling widely and meeting a lot of people, so he may have been a familiar face to many of the cardinals.
Doors open!
It's Prevost, from the USA.
Whoa.
Is he based?
Seems mid. Compromise candidate and anti-Trump, apparently.
Yeah, I know nothing. Which I actually kinda hoped for. All the high-profile candidates where loaded with too many people's preconceptions.
He's totally overwhelmed, bless his heart. That must be a shock.
I have to kinda approve of his decision not to make part of the address in English.
That wouldn't have gone down well.
Yup, he is for the whole world. It wouldn't do to have him go on and on about the Cubs.
😂
They will have a harder time misquoting him in the news.
That will be nice. Hopefully he'll be harder for conservatives to mistranslate as well. My least favorite thing about the Francis pontificate is that both liberals and conservatives told the same uncharitable lies about what he said for opposite reasons.
💯
Let’s pray for Pope Leo XIV. Journos have already began interpreting their ideologies in his speech.
Amen.
Amen!
The Pope's first words as Leo XIV were, "Peace be with you."
May peace be with us all. Peace, everywhere. Peace, now. 🕊️
He's from Chicago. My husband immediately like,
Blues Brother, on a mission from God.
😂
What do we know? He's chosen the name Leo, is this telling of something?
Big Leo Sayer fan apparently.
😄
Why did they do the Italian anthem so many times?
I hope they give us Star-Spangled in stereo at least.
✌️🇮🇹
Congratulations, Stella.
