They can't understand any form of Christianity and the foundation it's built upon. Pope Leo nailed it in his remarks about giving love is the path to defeating evil. They don't get it because they are blinded by self serving interests. The party of me, not the party of we.

And. He was physically standing in Rome.

All hail the new pedo protector!

That’s good. I was concerned that having an American pope would embolden Christian Fascists in the US.

Let’s see. Ordinary people have vaginas and feel called to lead the faithful. Like Mary Magdalene did. Not sure he cares about that.

My husband wondered if the new pope might accept women as priests…the conclave might not “know enough” about one of those gals…or maybe those gals were taking “soft interviews”…hmmm maybe the pope could be more enlightened than 1/3 of Americans (about the number who didn’t vote).

🩵🙏🩵🌟✨👍✝️🙌

Is anyone asking why the approach of this (or any) religion is expected to shift periodically when a different human is chosen to be pope? smh

If he calls this his mission continues to uphold this, I am proud to support this man.

Turn over the molesters. Sell the gold the Vatican owns to feed the poor and house the homeless. Otherwise, it's lip service.

It will be a problem for all the Jesus freaks in the Bible belt. Instead of just collecting money for the rich churches, the Pope wants to help the people vulnerable and the most in need.

perfect timing for this pope!

A humble person not a hypocrite

There is nothing “ordinary” about us. We are each, in our own uniqueness, extraordinary.

That's going to make the red hats furious, awesome

History’s full of leaders pledging to side with “ordinary people.” It’s a beautiful promise — until power starts whispering sweeter things. Hope this time the echo reaches the streets, not just the marble halls.

Oooh, the MAGAts are going to HATE that!😁

“Choosing the lesser of two evils” is an opinion. Just like “resisting compromise leads to nothing” is an opinion. Evidence please, that he “harbored a pedophile priest.” Cite credible sources.

He's been seeing first hand the damage the 47 brand is doing. So when he speaks about immigration and continuation of the "build bridges not walls" his comments are more directly from seeing what ICE is doing where he lives(d).

Take the Antichrist down Pope because Americans aren't strong enough or able to please take the antichrist down strike him down and everything he represents in all of his followers too in Jesus name I claim and pray the Pope will strike them down

As it should be

That's the template of Christianity

👏👏👏

Think outside the box Woody. The Americas on the world stage is one.

Dressed in silk and velvet, surrounded by gold objects ... just like ME.

We'll see if he does anything about the pedophilia that's still so prevalent in the church. His predecessor blamed the victims

That's all it's ever meant to them. Kindness, mercy, decency -- they all violate the America First playbook

Not the first, Francis was American. America is a continent. Not our fault you forgot to pick a name for your country.

I certainly hope that Pope Leo does follow in Pope Francis' footsteps. If so, he may help stop the fascist racist obscene cultists who are trying to stop democracy.

We needed this, the world needs this🥰

Unless he calls out Opus Dei by name making note of the excesses of their members like Tom Homan of ICE and Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation, he is just continuing the 'good cop/bad cop' scam used to maximize the number of church members.

Christ was the original woke, and they *hate* being reminded of that

You mean a man wearing a dress that changed his name, performs rituals where he eats human flesh and drinks blood, and works for an organization known for sexually abusing children…. isn’t trans or a drag queen? Wild

MAGA is the poor & downtrodden.

Go Leo.

That is so cool.

He represents everything that trump doesn’t represent. Proud he’s American.

You are right caring for the poor and marginalized is the Christian approach. Or it should be. But do not think all a pope supports is promoted by all protestant faiths. I think there was a Reformation and several European wars dealing with that issue.

He has clear and radical poltical views. We need a neutral or old fashioned conservative pope. Hope we can do another conclave

If he throws ALL persecuted minorities in there, I’ll sleep better.

He’s anti-LGBTQ+.

I do not want him to ever bend his beliefs. But I do want him to have empathy for those who have nothing in this world. A caring heart goes a long way. We can love thy neighbor without believing in everything they believe in. Choose love and kindness.

That's a very good start. But he and his fellow churchmen should give up their wildly expensive gold embroidered clothing and dress like ordinary people.

Glad the church has chosen a leader who can speak forthrightly about Jesus' example to christians in name only #CINO

I'm clapping!!!

Condemn Israel.

A wonderful successor to Pope Francis! I'm so proud of the Church and I stopped practicing about what? 30 years ago, but just like my excitement for Pope Francis, I'm feeling the same way about Pope Leo XIV! The Cardinals in the Church did the world proud with this election!

*rape scandals

Tax ALL "churches".

Glad the church has chosen a leader who can speak forthrightly about Jesus' example to christians in name only #CINO

He’s a white sox fan 🙏

I'll take two.

This almost makes me want to be catholic. Too bad I don’t believe in god.

He’s against LGBTQ though

'he pledged to align himself with “ordinary people” and not with the rich and powerful' Put ur money where ur mouth is, pay retribution to the s3xual abuse victims, kick out and prosecute the pedo priests, start breaking down your vast Vatican wealth to help the poor. Otherwise, it's just bla bla..

resist. resist. Perhaps Pope Leo (the Lion) will Join Us June 14th. Be There or be Square.

You have to love it. Such a wise selection.

Rik Devillé & SNAP, who defends victims of abuse in the church, finds his appointment “A slap in the face" Prevost has protected a priest who abused children for years. “It’s unbelievable, the whole world is cheering, but the victims are not.” www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/20...

Are queer people "ordinary" to him? I have to wonder.

I hope he deals with Dolan and the other American Cardinals who undermined Francis. If Dolan doesn't come around I would move him to Paraguay.

Good- he's the antithesis to Trump and his horrible and corrupt administration. We need some peace, love and understanding more than ever.

If only the new pope could acknowledge women as equals. Maybe next time although I probably will not live to see it.

I was hoping for someone who would follow in the path of his predecessor. Pope Francis was someone we could call “Woke.” I wish this new Pope well.

The right also hate everything that Jesus is supposed to have stood for. These fake christians would call their messiah a woke marxist if they ever met him or actually read the bible they claim to believe in.

Glad the church has chosen a leader who can speak forthrightly about Jesus' example to christians in name only #CINO

Long live the Pope!

Another Holy 🖕🏼🖕🏼to Trump and his unpopular cabinet members and loyalists👏🏼👏🏼 #PopeLeoXIV #IsABadAss #PopeForThePeople #ILoveTheWokePope #NobodyLikesTrump #NobodyLikesJDVance #NotEvenThePope

Two women reading verses, is this a first, is this a new trend , we'll see..

An oligarchy of sorts?

He will align himself with ordinary people who will continue spending their money denying women access to reproductive health care, denying LGBTQ+ taxpayers equal protection under the law, and continue the Church’s illegal discriminatory employment practices.

We need a Pope who will repeal this #ForcedBirther

Stop posting if you want people to pay to read your crap. I can get all the same news without you.

Love hearing the popping sound of MAGA heads exploding.

We are the majority. If only we would organise you guys wouldn't have a chance.

Good.

And that 39 ft wall around the Vatican is all about love and inclusivity?

Had lunch with my crazy conservative uber religious in laws today and they are disappointed! Omfg.

It's encouraging to see Pope Leo XIV committing to uphold the values of his predecessor, Pope Francis. His dedication to the ordinary people, the poor, and migrants should be a guiding light for us all. Looking forward to seeing how his leadership will influence the Church and the world at large.

❤️

“We Don’t Forgive the Abuser. We Don’t Forget the Abused.” Our memory is resistance, our voice a reckoning. We carry the names, we honor the pain, and we rise so silence never wins.

Refreshing news. 🙏😍

Sounds like he intends to follow Jesus.

deport illegal migrants allow qualified, knowledgeable and good character individuals solve their only problem: overpopulation with deaths

Thank you NY Times, you keep reporting the Truth like this and you'll make up for lying to me about Iraq and its ability to attack us with nuclear weapons. Muslim siblings are many but the word was adopted and changed and some learned how to use voice to compel the young to commit crimes. NO DEATH.

🤣🤣🤣 Says the guy draped in royalty from golden platforms… Sure, Jan. 🚧🚧🚧

If only. Francis tried his best but the church still remains allied with the rich and powerful, who oppress the poor and vulnerable more brutally than ever. I wish the Pope Leo XIV all this best if he means what he says.

What sort of pope follows the teachings of Jesus? The evangelicals follow the teachings of Pontus Pilate.

This Catholic approves!

And somehow, this headline will be controversial by morning

I wonder who he voted for.

I believe the Pope used simple English at the beginning of the mass to ensure that MAGA and their intellectually lacking leaders clearly understood where he stood.

He’s not like Francis at all. Read the article on his stance re abortion, LBGTQ rights, etc. He’s a registered Republican who voted in the 2024 election. www.npr.org/2025/05/09/n...

Thankfully!!! So thankful the Cardinals understood the importance of electing a Pope in Francis' image!!!
