Reporting is saying a new Pope has been selected. No info on who.

I hope he meets the moment. Hes at a major disadvantage being American. Certainly would not have been my choice, I would have gone with a cardinal from the Global South. That said, the Cardinals know what they're doing and I wish the best to him.

Which is why I wouldn't have gone American. They don't need even more misplaced chauvinism. That said, I trust the Cardinals and his speech seems to reinforce his priorization of the poor and marginalized.

Actually, you may have a bit of both, here - from his bio ...
Pope Leo XIV - Wikipedia
Late add: a bit more on the guy from the Vatican info-machine, and elsewhere ....
Leo XIV is the new Pope - Vatican News
"Peace be with all of you!" - the first words of Pope Leo XIV. The Conclave has elected Robert Francis Cardinal Prevost as the 267th Bishop of Rome. ...

The first American pope? This cardinal has the best chance of making history in this conclave
It is typically absurd to think of an American as pope. But in this conclave, a Chicago-born Augustinian friar who has spent much of his life outside of the United States is worthy of serious consideration.

Based on this from earlier this year, Pope Leo doesn't seem a fan of misplaced chauvinism, either.
JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others
In a viral Fox News interview, the vice president suggested that it is more Christian to prioritize your family over a stranger, but Jesus wanted us to demolish the categories that keep us from seeing each other as worthy of love in the first place.

Leaving out the religious bent, those would be my priorities also. Family first, the rest fall in line dependent on my personal interactions with each. The rest of the world is definitely my last concern, if at all.Based on this from earlier this year, Pope Leo doesn't seem a fan of misplaced chauvinism, either.

You forget that Peter went to Rome, the heart of the Empire that was occupying the Holy Land. And in 1978, a Pope from Communist Poland was chosen.

Based on another forum I follow that is mostly US members, he is already a "communist" Pope because he backtalked Vance. That and he was speaking 'ferrin' and not 'American'.Based on this from earlier this year, Pope Leo doesn't seem a fan of misplaced chauvinism, either.

It seems his views may not necessarily align with an Administration that wants to move the goalposts around things like love, loyalty, citizenship, guilt, etc.

Leo XIV seems to be angering people on both the right and the left. That means he's probably going to be a good pope.

Like many things these days, he's American enough to love/hate as desired, and not American enough to love/hate as desired. #PapalRorschach

Perhaps. He's the new CEO of a corporation with a billion or so shareholders that I have no shares in, so beyond the theatre, my interest is over.

I'd suggest keeping an interested eye on him. The Papacy and the Catholic Church in general has insane soft power. You'd be surprised the influence a savvy pope can have on global affairs, Francis was quite astute at it imo, he shaped a lot of global conversations.
