Progressive Catholics will likely be pleased that we have a bishop, habemus papam. The bishop is an American for the first time ever.
Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost, is also a native of Peru and holds British citizen. Although he was a fan of the late Pope Francis, his public image has often been obscure, which suggests that his good actions as pope have not yet been fully anticipated. However, his first speech dangerously appeared to be in line with democratic rhetoric.

It is unlucky that the new pope was a fan of the late Pope Francis, who viewed communist politics against religious religion and doctrine, stifled the Church, and seriously offended Israeli Jews. Franciss was not even remotely a person of unity, and his alleged compassion did not include those who were Chinese Catholics, reactionaries, persecuted Christians in Africa, sufferers of illegal aliens, and many others. Prevost helped put in place Francis’s contentious plan to add people to the table that forth priest nominations to the pope. He was raised to the cardinalate by Francis.

Leo XIV, who spoke from St. Peter’s balcony, said,” United, hand and hand, with God and among ourselves, let us go forward,” praising the need for the light of Christ and expressing gratitude to Pope Francis for his” thank you, Pope Francis.” He rambled a little bit about “working together to be missionaries” and “peace and righteousness.” He also mentioned his affiliation with the Catholic religious order and said he would “build bridges …and get everyone,” which is typical leftist rhetoric. He invoked the intervention of the Blessed Virgin Mary and prayed for “peace in the world” more frequently than not.

Associated Press retorted:
Prevost, 69, was appointed by Francis to the Vatican in 2023 to lead the organization overseeing the review of priest votes from around the world, one of the most significant positions in the Catholic Church… Prevost, a native of Chicago, may be a primary because he spent years there, first as a preacher and then as an archbishop…
Considerably, he presided over one of Francis ‘ most innovative changes, adding three people to the voting bloc that determines the pope’s priest nominees. Francis once more demonstrated his esteem by appointing Prevost to the cardinal ‘ most top rank in the first year of his presidency.
Conservative Catholics hoped for a more apostate Pope As Conclave Begs.
The next pontiff will inherit a church that has experienced a number of problems, both domestically and internationally, including a lack of vocations, an ongoing sex abuse scandal, ideological divisions within the church, many international wars, and severe persecution of Christians in numerous nations. Finally, he will be a holy and intelligent man who can handle all of these difficult situations, rather than as left-leaning as his relationships to Francis and liberal rhetoric suggest.
