The Folks are quite a distance physically, philosophically, & psychologically from Pope-Land, they no longer "practice" Catholicism, still, that old creed is infused in their bones, (sin, judgement, guilt, love, forgiveness, suffering), and they know the Pope is still a quite influential force in the world.
A new Pope. A Woke Pope. A "Marxist" (retrograde forces accuse anyone caring for the poor as Marxist, quite hilarious). An anti-MAGA Pope. An anti-Trump Pope. An anti-J.D. Vance Pope. The crazy-ass-right-wingers are all in furious tizzy.
A pro-refugee Pope. A pro-compassion Pope, a pro-empathy Pope. A pro-immigrent & human rights Pope. Amen, brothers & sisters.
Born in Chicago too. That is quite something. Supposedly a Chicago White Sox fan, not a Chicago Cubs fan. That is Good News too. Pope Leo XIV child of the City of Big Shoulders & proudly Woke, baby!
"The new Pope Leo XIV greeted the world today in Italian and Spanish as he thanked Pope Francis and the other cardinals, and called for the church to “be a missionary Church, building bridges, dialogue, always open to receiving with open arms for everyone…, open to all, to all who need our charity, our presence, dialogue, love…, especially to those who are suffering.”
