Pope Leo XIV entering St. Peter's Square like:
USA USA
RAAAAHHHHH ITS NOW A MORTAL SIN TO USE THE METRIC SYSTEM
 
Robert Prevost is now Leo XIV

While Prevost is seen overall as a centrist, on some key social issues he's viewed as progressive. He has long embraced marginalized groups, a lot like Francis, who championed migrants and the poor.

But, also like Pope Francis, the Illinois native opposes ordaining women as deacons, for instance, so on that point he's seen as conservative on church doctrine.
Oh great, more of the same minority worship that Francis did.

just another example of Nothing. Ever. Happens.
 
Well, this is unexpected!

Will pray for him to be a good and faithful shepherd.
 
Moral Authority: 8 (Seen as incorruptible and mission-focused)

I'll wait to see his acts but I am hopeful.

Nobody knew what Francis would be like when he was elected. I doubt we really know what Leo will be like until he has been given time to act. On paper, most of these guys just do whatever the Church tells them to, and he was only a Cardinal for 2 years.
