[cheshunt seagull]

Actually I think Trump will hate another American getting a lot of headlines.

 

[Blue3]

Trump will be demanding a recount

 

[BluesRockDJ]

From Chicago too.

Deep dish communion wafers?

Blessed are da Bears, for they will inherit the Super Bowl?

Blues people will now be all over "Born In Chicago" !

It’s 106 miles to the Apostolic Palace. Full tank of gas. Half a pack of cigarettes. It's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

Vance certainly helped the process, he killed the last one.

Yep he will. I suspect Trump won’t like him one bit.

Pope Bob = Excellent.
Pope Robbie = Pretty, pretty good.
Pope Rob = Good enough.
Pope Bobby = I'd take it.

But ....

Pope Leo?? WTF!!!

Why are they getting rid of one of the best things about him??

Where's @Wozza

He needs to give a name? Is it another flair Latin American or have the Vatican decided to tap into the Asian potential fanbase?

Or have we gone for old school European? Maybe not flair (unless he is dutch) but solid and maybe defensive

Or we could have finally gone for Africa and see if there is an AFCON candidate

Sorry, like the grim reaper, I only do deaths.

Poor bugger flew all the way from the Amex to Italy for a peaceful quiet holiday

I'm gonna suggest that "already called" is bullshit. I know right? Fancy not trusting the president of the United States.

Besides, surely if he just got elected Pope he probably called his wife and kids first!

‘Would never have happened if Biden was President’.

I suspect there has been some strong political lobbying to get this through and tbh an American Pope was something I have been suspecting ever since the American far right/Steve Bannon‘s ties to the conservative wing of the Vatican became apparent.

‘Maga Catholics’ are gaining ground in the US. Now their sight is set on the Vatican

Conservative US Catholics like Steve Bannon look to win ‘war that lasts decades’ with pope antithetical to Francis

www.theguardian.com

It seems that even though Pope Leo is American, he hasn't actually resided in the US since his late 20's. He has been an Archbishop in Peru for many years.

New CEO of Catholic inc appointed by the pointy hat board.

Biggest news in the world apparently.
