Help[Opinions] Re: Pope Leo XIV
in reply to a message by Fiammetta
Erdo is definitely too conservative. I’m not Catholic but some of my Catholic friends were hoping it wouldn’t be him.
I’m surprised they elected an American. I thought the Italian Parolin was the one. But Cardinal Prevost seems like a pretty good pick. I think he will continue on with the policies of Francis and not move too far in either direction.
I like the name Leo.

Apparently, he has dual American-Peruvian citizenship and has Spanish, Italian, and French ancestry and is fluent in multiple languages. I wonder if his ability to communicate with just about everyone in the conclave had a role in getting picked.
