Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of the Archdiocese of Chicago has just been elected pope, the first from the USA. He will take the name Leo XIV.

So it looks like Catholicdom is about to be under Trump's control now, unless Leo turns out to be another Francis. I hope the Church picked him because his work as a missionary is counter to Trump's policies.

EDIT: Listening to his speech. I'm hopeful he will be another Francis and not a right-wing American Catholic in the stripe of Timothy Dolan or Raymond Burke.
