The New Pope Leo XIV

I can't imagine being watched so closely by millions of people. I hope this new Pope is spiritual and wise and leads from a loving heart.

That he is not so "humble" as he wants people to believe, he loves expensive things.

He didn’t use the papal crown. No pope has used that since Paul VI, and he only wore it once. One thing I enjoyed was seeing footage of him at the White Sox game when they won the World Series in 2005. In the stands, like everyone else, enjoying the game.

I'm not Catholic so I don't think anything about it. Those two made different choices because they're different people. *shrug* It happens. I hope the new Pope is as nice a man as the last Pope was.

I read "Among the ongoing financial challenges facing Leo are a decline in donations from the faithful, rising staff costs and a fragile retirement system. Francis said last year the latter currently "cannot guarantee in the medium term the fulfilment of the pension obligation for future generations". Yes, simplicity goes a long way to make life easier.

I hope that the first thing he does is inform the world of what exactly occurred in Peru with the priest rumoured to have abused children.

I really do not understand the choice. Its not really for me to understand anyway because not religious, but if it effects me then it is for me to say. Just in case. They said he is the closest to carry out pope Francis's mission. It had nothing to do with Trump or America. How much I buy that I will wait and see. He is the first American Pope and that amazes me, like it is a statement to be honest.

I hope the new Pope will be liked by all his followers.
