Hello Pope Leo XIV

[elisi]

I... was not expecting a pope from Chicago. Although apparently he spent years in Peru.

It would appear that he is likely to carry on Francis' work. 🙏 Leo XIII (1878 - 1903) was known for his social justice work.

I only care about papacy in a general way, but I have to say, to see white smoke this morning (California time), and to wait for the new pope being announced, was super-exciting.

Hoping for best and good luck to Leo XIV!

I came home from work, and my other half had BBC on the TV live streaming from Rome, waiting for the announcement. :)

Hoping for best and good luck to Leo XIV!
Thank you!
