On the flip side…

[Magnum44]

So he is pro life, but hates MAGA...hmmmmm.

[Magnum44]

By the way, he is not American. Born in Chicago but a citizen of Peru? Thats either no longer US citizen or split loyalties.

I guess I dont care so long as he stays out of US politics.

[HYPOCRACY]

That’s not gonna happen. He was elected to meddle in US politics.

[Nifty]

His two years at the head of the Augustinian province of Our Lady of Good Counsel (1999-2001) were the subject, 20 years later, of fierce criticism from the American press. The issue was his attitude in a case of sexual abuse of minors involving a member of his congregation. In September 2000, in his capacity as provincial, Father Prevost had given his approval to Father James Ray, a religious convicted of sexual abuse of minors and sentenced to nine years’ imprisonment, to stay at an Augustinian priory near an elementary school.

For two years, the cleric continued to celebrate weddings and baptisms, while also working as a hospital chaplain. It wasn’t until 2002, with the tightening of rules established by the American episcopate, that this priest was removed from that residence, before being laicized in 2012 following the discovery of new cases implicating him.

Let’s hope that nothing of Chicago has influence - we all know that that city competes for “King of Corruption”.

“so long as he stays out of US politics.”
Amen. As they say.
As a Roman Catholic I can wait and see what he does in his new position. He can be Good or Bad. History has its track record.
I don't wake up everyday wondering what the Pope has to say. Especially about the administration of MY Country.
Stick to the job description and well be fine.
My duty is to my Family and My Nation.
Don't ever get between those two. I don't care who you are. That being said. Best of Luck to the new Pope.

He has dual citizenship.

[SaveFerris]

The mere fact that
The Lying Kenyan Barack Hussein Obama
likes him tells me all
that I need to know

[dforest]

He was quickly elevated by Frankie. You know he is going to be as bad or worse.

And yes, he will meddle in US politics. He is from Chicago.

[MotorCityBuck]

Oh yea.
Trump announces 2027 NFL Draft on National Mall.
Sorry for going off subject :)

[AnotherUnixGeek]

So he is pro life, but hates MAGA

Him and Amy Coney Barrett. Pro-life is one data point, not the whole picture.

[SaveFerris]

I’m just waiting for similar endorsements
from W Bush, Pelosi, Joe Biden, Bill or Hillary....

When The Lying Kenyan is
leading the way, it’s bad.

[ebb tide]

Well he was very pro covid-clot shot; despite it being derived from the murder of babies.

[SaveFerris]

(He was quickly elevated by Frankie.)

Yikes 😳🙀😨

That’s another “tell”

[dfwgator]

He was elected Pope faster than Shadeur Sanders was drafted.

[hinckley buzzard]

He went to Peru shortly after being ordained, was there for years, then went to the Vatican. He has never been a priest in the US. Not really American at all.

[toddausauras]

Do these “popes” do the world more good or harm?

[Brandonmark]

He seems to be a another WOKE Pope though.

[Skywise]

Yeah - but that’s a prerequisite for being Catholic, let alone a pope...
