I mentioned that and yeah, I think it's some sort of geopolitics. Thing is though, His Holiness has not been the biggest fan of Trump so that makes me think they're more worried about America than China and Russia. Wouldn't be surprised if the news from India spooked them since that's two nuclear powers fighting.
I think its more Putin's attempt to raise himself up as the Orthodox God Emperor plus the godless threat of Emperor Xi. Yes Tagel would win the hearts of Philippine Catholics. But Prevost can get the American's to use the Navy to protect the Philippine Catholics. That sort of calculation.

Historically the Church is not above a bit of Hegemony and playing power games. It's in Rome for a reason.

I think the Cardinals see an opportunity to bring the global hegemony more in line with the Roman Church, where before it's been predominantly protestant. Another concern is how effective American Evangelicals have been in South America recently. They may want a Pope who understands that branch of the faith better if only to cut them off at the knees.

The other even more likely possibility to Money. Apparently ever since the crack down on using the Vatican Bank for international money laundering the Holy Sees finances have been a bit of a mess. The wealthiest Catholics in the world are in the United States. Pope Leo is also a numbers guy with a degree in Mathematics.
 
Niggas who bet real dollars on Prevost right now:

Seems like they've gone with the safe Centrist Option, he still has all the same views any Pope should have, his most liberal opinion seems to be opposing Trump and his immigration policy
 
I'm not a Catholic and don't know dick. Can someone give me a decent rundown on the new fella with the funny hat?
Most Catholics have never heard of the guy that becomes Pope until he gets elected. What I've read so far:

* Despite him being an American, he's been in South America since 1985. This has not stopped my feeds from blowing up with self-centered American faggots going off about how this guy was elected either because Trump is either bad or good.

* He's more in line with the Catholic Church being socially conservative compared to the last guy.

* No comments on Israel or Zionism that I can find.

* He's been critical of Trump and JD Advanced on Twitter when it comes to Catholic Doctrine and loving poor people.

* Fan of the White Sox.

* Catholics believe that the Pope literally speaks on behalf of God so there's that.

* New Pope usually tinkers with how Catholic mass is performed. Then sets an agenda or declaration around loving poor or sick people or whatever, nothing else really changes because Jesus was a Socialist and that is not in line with most Catholics' and Christians' worldview.
