🇻🇦 - WHITE SMOKE THERE IS A NEW POPE

🇻🇦 - New Pope is Robert Francis Prevost, who will reign under the name Leo 14.

🇻🇦 - Leo XIV is a clear signal that the church will be a lot more agressive in attacking neoliberalism as an economic ideology and libertarianism in general. Maybe not as progressive as Francis on social issues, or at least not as much ostensibly.

Robert Francis Prevost as a name is a clear sign the pope may descend from the millions of French-Canadians who fled Quebec during a wave of poverty that struck the province during the early 20th century.

🇻🇦— Notably, Pope Leo XIV is the first American Pope, raised in Chicago. He follows Pope Francis, who was the first elected from outside of Europe in modern history.

🇻🇦 - Pope Leo XIV at his first Mass: “Even today there are many settings where the Christian faith is considered absurd, meant for the weak and unintelligent, settings where other securities are preferred; technology, money, success, power and pleasure. These are context where it is not easy to preach the Gospel, and bear witness to its truth, where believers are mocked, opposed, despised or at best tolerated and pity. Yet precisely for these reasons, these are the places where our missionary outreach is desperately needed.”
