Habemus papam. It is from Latin and it means We have a Pope. White fog was already there, he is about to appear at the balcony and his name is .... Pope Leo 14 or ex American cardinal candidate, Robert Francis Prevost, born in Chicago. He appeared now, as i am writing. Church bells were ringing here like crazy so i had a feeling. Yes, i don't live next to the church but by air, everything echoes more loudly, i feel. Well, cardinals didn't take it too long. After their 3rd decision, i believe, they chose the new leader. In the 13th century, it took them 3years so, this is good. There are so many people in St. Peter's Square, so cool. Crowdy for me but cool. The last time i binged like this was for the Summer Olympic Games broadcast last year.

We are fortunate to have a new Pope, decided so soon. He will have a big job ahead of him, as so many in our world, catholic or not, look to him for examples of peace keeping.

I pray he keeps his eyes on God and provides moral guidance that this world needs.
