He is USA/Peru dual citizen ! He thanked Pope Francis several times in his speach..so good sign (one hopes)
I don't care at all because I don't believe in any religion and I think that religion is a problem in this world. But all I can say is if he's liberal enough to be supporting the LGBTQ+ community🏳️🌈 and Women's rights.
sadly... bsky.app/profile/t0me...
Ah shit 🤦🏽♂️🙄🤬😮💨
Wondering if Governor Pritzker knows him 🙂
And Trump takes credit in three, two, one…
"First American Cardinal"? Not true,"Pope Leo XlV"is NOT the 1st"American Cardinal however,he is(2nd)&"Pope Francis(Jorge Mario Bergoglio)"born in Buenos Aires, Argentina,(1)of (12)Nations Comprising"SOUTH AMERICA"was,"FIRST"? Btw yall,there are also23Nations in NORTH AMERICA¬ just,the"USA(#2)"?
EDIT: he's a jerk because of his homophobia and transphobia.
He actually agrees with Pope Francis' opinion on quite a few social matters. LGBTQ+ included.

Hopefully in the past 10+ years he's evolved & adapted. Francis pushed as far left as he could. I fear it will take a long time for the Church to be the world leader it should be. Francis took big steps. Fingers crossed & "prayers" Leo will continue his work.
How many Catholics support Trump?
Most
They’ll have to pick their king. It’s genius.
Not me or anyone I know.
Are you American Catholic? That sounds nosey and aggressive. Don’t answer if it is. I’m just interested in the reaction.
Yes US Catholic. Not being nosey or aggressive. Sorry if it came off that way. You answered with your opinion that you think most Catholics support trump. Just stating, all the Catholics I know or are related to, do not support trump. However, some Lutherans, Baptists & agnostics I know do
I meant I sounded nosey and aggressive so we’re all good!
And I was actually answering Dawn on that reply. Again, wasn't directed at you
Nope. We really don’t.
Are you in America? I’m just interested. I hope he visits. Maybe there is a God…
Yes I am, and there definitely is a God. Trust His plan. I have faith it will all work out. Love, truth, and goodness will prevail!!
Well I’m actually a Protestant from Belfast originally so very much not brought up like that but this is really interesting. He could really show Trump up.
Honestly Zoe as a cradle Catholic American my heart is full of hope. Morale about our political leadership is awful. People feel helpless. The surprise of Leo is a gift, I truly feel a sign of bright promise. An ally for us who are a little lost right now.
We’re all lost. If you’re here you’re following. The only people I know who aren’t feeling adrift don’t know what’s going on. It’s really awful. I hope he doesn’t disappear. He needs to go and visit America. Urgently.
Well said, thanks for sharing, your perspective is important 💕
We’re all important.
We are SO hoping 🤣
I’m actually laughing. No pressure!
All that door-knocking, flyering, post-carding, telebanking and GOTV paid off!
an American with Peruvian citizenship so trumps people will deport him LOL this is going to be funny
AFAIK the new Pope doesn't get to go home again. He moves into the Vatican today. With all his cats. (You knew he was a cataholic, right?)
trump wont care where he is atm either he will just make it happen bigly
i hear the special forces ICE unit is on way to vatican to make sure he gets sent to el salvador prison too
when he come to usa trump will deport him to peru thats the joke YOU DO KNOW WHAT A JOKE IS RIGHT? oh and has this cloen banned opis dei the sect that abuses wives and kids yet like pope paul had banned for 30 years?
when he come to usa trump will deport him to peru thats the joke to the guy below YOU DO KNOW WHAT A JOKE IS RIGHT? oh and has this clown banned opis dei the sect that abuses wives and kids yet like pope paul had banned for 30 years?
North American….
Wow! Two American men, both on the world stage now! And guess which of the two of them speaks 5 languages? And which one has a father who served the U.S. in WWII? And which has a B.S. in mathematics? And actually has READ THE BIBILE? Or actually reads at all?
So now Trump is not the most powerful US American anymore. The 🍑💩 won‘t like it.
This feels very GOT
Ordained a priest in 1982, he began his missionary work in Peru. His commitment to the Peruvian Church led him to obtain Peruvian citizenship in 2015.
Henceforth, the communion wine will be malort.
It COULD have gone SO BADLY, too. There were some TERRIBLE choices out there. And I love that he’s worked with people of Peru for much of his life.
Wow this is GREAT NEWS. And I live in IL 💙
Of course Trump is gonna claim this is happening because he's president now.
📌
He’s was born in my City of Chicago. 😊👍
...and I still don't care. 🤷♂️
We are fucked
So what, Trump will have him in his pocket.
Tr*mp’s already demanding a recount. Donald thinks that the papacy was stolen from him and that he should’ve been elected the new head of the Catholic Church instead of Sleepy Pope Leo.
He thinks it was a rigged conclave
Cubs or Sox, Pope Leo?
He’s been the Bishop and hasn’t lived here in a while. But we are proud of him here. 😊
ABC reported Cubs fan, although born on south side.
Sounds like someone in America influenced the decision as they promised
It should have been Gritty
Plot twist!
