"Bloomberg just reported: First American Pope Elected" - US Cardinal Robert Prevost has been elected as the next Pope, marking the first ever American Pope in history. He will be known as Pope Leo XIV. In his first speech from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, he called for peace and paid tribute to the late Pope Francis, with the crowd below cheering continuously.
Despite Vatican opposition to the selection of an American Pope due to America's status as a superpower and its global secular influence, this moderate, Chicago-born Prevost remains highly anticipated.
Regarding the new Pope: Prevost, currently 69 years old, was born in Chicago, USA, and is a leader with global experience. Most of his career has been spent as a missionary in South America, and he previously served as a bishop in Peru. Recently, he was responsible for leading the important department of the Vatican dealing with the appointment of bishops. It is expected that he will continue to promote the reform agenda of Pope Francis.
How is the Pope elected? There are a total of 133 cardinals with voting rights, and any one of them needs to receive two-thirds of the votes to become the new Pope. This afternoon, white smoke rose above the Sistine Chapel, indicating that the election results of the new Pope had been announced.
Trump couldn't wait to jump on the bandwagon of the new Pope, "I am deeply honored to learn that he is the first American Pope. What an exciting moment, what a great honor it is for our country! I look forward to meeting Pope Leo XIV."
However, the new Pope forwarded an article criticizing JD Vance just last February.
