@RealBishopsam
I am now sure that even Jesus Christ was white, and therefore, having a black Pope ever elected, will only happen in dreams.
@KafeezaA
2000 years without a black Pope….its high time we got our own pope, especially in Africa😭😭😭😭

He was selected because America has rejected the globalist propaganda. His main mission will be attempting to regain the subservience of Americans.
@DannyWxo
The USA so not need another reason to think they are the center of the universe.

May Christ work through this mere mortal as he walks his steps.
Give him wisdom,
Give him strength,
Show him mercy,
Teach him love!
May he be the vessel through which God will make his church on earth, one.
Long live the Pope!
Lord hear our prayers.

Congratulations Pope Leo XIV.

Not a word of English spoken during Pope Leo XIV's Papacy message. How disappointing considering he is the first American to rise to the Papacy.
Has he disavowed being an American?
