Well, Robert Prevost was elected Pope, the first yankee pontiff.

Any comment?

A random dice roll would vote in a better pope.

This is political choice. I doubt he is even catholic. Judge by his appearance. Pope has Jewish nose.

We know the Catholic Church is more political than religious. 

Do you think this church is looking for a close relationship with the United States or it's just a coincidence that has nothing to do with that?

Robert Prevost was elected Pope, the first yankee pontiff. To thwart Trump’s ambition to be Pope.

I was wondering how long it would take this string to mention a relation to Trump effect. Democrats are paranoid; Republicans are prematurely efactulating. Glad I'm an Indie.

Didn't Trump say he wanted the USA to buy the Vatican?

A moderately conservative American pope who'll most likely be the face of global Catholicism until the early 2040s? Heck yeah.

Pope Leo XIV is not a coincidence.

The last Pope Leo spoke out against americanism. freemasonry, the effects of evangelism, etc.

Currently Brazil is 20% Protestant. Evangelicals in America are converting to Catholicism but are bringing their ideas in. We need a Pope to who is going to return a sense of Catholic mystery, superstition, culture, aboveness over social/worldly affairs. If he does so I would be very pleased, but we shall see.

How do you know this Pope is the last?

You know something.

I'm watching in the TV an analysis about the new Pope and there are some details about him that draw powerfully my attention.

He is 69, but he spent 40 years living in Peru, South America. So, that makes only 29 years spent in his native country. In fact, when I heard his first speech as Pope he didn't mention anything about the US but rather he did greet a city of Peru where he stayed the most time in his life.

Another interesting fact is that he nationalized peruvian and his second last name is Martinez (a very common hispanic last name), meaning that he has hispanic roots. So, the ties to Latinamerica is very strong. I would say he's more hispanic than yankee. 

I don't know if Trump will like that. I'm under the impression that this Pope will scold the child Trump.
