Even before his name was announced from the balcony of St Peter's Basilica, the crowds below were chanting "Viva il Papa" - Long live the Pope. Robert Prevost, 69, is the 267th occupant of the throne of St Peter and will be known as Leo XIV.

I didn't see the vacancy listed on Seek or CareerOne either…
Try craiglist or gumtree
It was on LinkedIn
It was on OnlyPopes
Ugh jobs for the boys again
Unfortunately, being the Pope has a few requirements. At least you've got the celibacy part going for you.
At least the old pope didn't pass the position down to one of his kids
Nepo pope would be so modern.
US Pope
Trump will claim it was because of him.
Trump said he could end the war in a day wasn't he…
Just as soon as he unveils his health plan; only 2 weeks to go…
My thoughts too. Something along the lines of "god loves america" etc etc.
If Catholics believe the Pope is God’s representative on Earth, who will tell Trump he isn't God?
Making Catholics great again.
By all rights this guy seems to be progressive. Hopefully he becomes a thorn in Trump’s side.
More like another pocket to drop coin in. Don't forget the RC religion want an endless supply of children and so does Musk.I'm sure there's a deal in there somewhere.

Your bias is showing.
There's four other religions who have higher birth rates than RCs. (although all but the top two are are at or below replacement rates).
And the biggest contributing religion to population growth isn't RCs or even all Christian denominations combined.
He did a deal with God
"Folks, you’re not gonna believe this — we finally did it. The new Pope? He’s American. That’s right — AMERICAN! Why? Because America is great again, that's why! The Vatican saw what we're doing — the strength, the success, the tremendous, record-breaking winning — and they said, 'We want some of that!' So now we’ve got the best Pope, from the best country. Other countries, they're shocked. Totally shocked! But we’re not surprised — because when you’re winning this much, even the Church wants in."

New Pope, New Hope for Crypto. Happy morning indeed.

Help me. Can you explain your process for joining those two dots?
They are both new and Hope rhymes with Pope. But I reckon that it would be hard to cope with that idea… as it could be a slippery slope of rhymes. It would be dope if it made sense?

Nope.
Not really. Was $7.91 in 2023 and now $0.29.
Not just US, but also a citizen of Peru
Basically he is North and South American.
American
But not Native American
Almost like the powers that ought not be are signalling that the pan-American union is back on the Agenda. Kind of like Trump's "let's absorb Canada and Mexico"
brain fartsfreudian slips.
He is also Peruvian
And the first pope to be deported once he visits the US
His mum was from Spain, his father was from France, he was close to Pope Francis and he spent 40 years as a missionary in Peru.
I think he is a great choice.
LOL, thanks..Hogan was a very underrated comedy genius.Ahead of his time. Great characters.
Oh why not the asian dude
Ikr, imagine the karaoke nights at the Vatican.
Bob's your Pope
Long live Pope Bob
Rip to Father Bob
Geez that must be a massive reefer they smoke after making the decision, lots of smoke coming out of the chimney.
wow they didn't even send me a rejection letter
the crowds below were chanting "Viva il Papa" - Long live the Pope
Since he's an American Pope, isn't the correct translation "Long Live Daddy"?
Who's ya daddy
Ok
Francis was born into a poor christian country, and was raised with a stromg belief in socialism to lift people from poverty. Then he got the gig and was pursued by the relentless conga line of self servers like Klaus, Ursula. Bill and his lovely wife Hilary, and the Obamas. These people perverted his support

Wouldn't match your posts if you did.

(reaches for microscope to find the violin playing somewhere)
Now he lives like a king on Vatican money. Then he became Pope.The rest is
historypropaganda to keep the babies and $$$ rolling in. Imagine comparing such ppl to the RC hierarchy and inferring the church are the lifters,and the not leaners.
Clickbait indeed.Trump is "happy & surprised",BTW. Go figure.When did Vance meet the (alive) Pope Francis at the Vatican?

Careful, you're starting to sound like this guy
Trumps own words and the actual sequence of events?
Fake news or denial in your steamy kitchen?
(reaches for microscope to find the violin playing somewhere)
Whilst I'm no fan of the Catholic Church, and of organised religion in general, this is some serious slander.
Not sure why you are trying to downplay his struggles in particular - he grew up in a poor family in Argentina, the son of Italian refugees of Mussolini. But hey, since he happened to become the leader of the Catholic Church 70+ years later, this somehow invalidates his struggle growing up.

This isn't even true. Pope Francis certainly does not "live like a king", and lived in a simple two-bedroom apartment. He lived with others who worked for the Vatican, and specifically chose to not "live like a king" (e.g. see https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-21949118).
There are many things to criticise organised religion about, but I have a lot of respect for the way Francis conducted himself personally and the values he lived by. The fact that he denounced the war in Gaza, and had a direct line to local church leaders within Gaza (and kept in contact with them daily until his last days) makes him (at least in my opinion) far more principled and courageous than almost all world leaders turning a blind eye to the slaughter.
But hey, "religion bad, and $$$$", so who cares, right?
So, how does this influence us? Blessing for more price errors? World peace?
Robert Prevost, 69
hehe
.Pope Giggity LXIX
Trump and Vance's wet dream.
God save us.
🤦♂️
Don't thinks so, MAGA already having a melt down due to his "woke" opinions and posts to X. USA conservative posts to various online media are furious.
Yeah did read on News.com that even a right wing conservative pope with slightly left leaning tendencies is an enemy of the republicans.
had a chuckle
Loony Laura Loomer is particularly unhappy.

Finally an accent Musk can use his AI on to make deep fake Pope videos to get the masses to out-breed the planet like him.
"Go forth & shag like a rabbit and buy some Teslas along the way"."Oh and practise that special salute(heel click!)"
Dang! I put all my savings on Robert Irwin after seeing his odds on PopeBet during The Cheap Seats.
Crikey!
Pope Bob I would be a much better name.
il Papa is wicked sick! XD
His betting odds were between 1 and 2% since Francis died.
There's nothing strange about the sequence of events:
Pope Francis harshly criticizes Trump
JD Vance travels to Rome
The day after meeting with JD Vance, Pope Francis dies—even though his illness had been subsiding
At the funeral, leaders of all major countries meet, creating opportunities for new discussions
The conclave begins
During the conclave, Trump posts on X a picture of himself as the pope, suggesting he controls the papacy before anyone has any idea who will be chosen
For the first time in history, an American is elected pope
The new pope takes a name that is an anagram of "Elon"
Ozb meetup at the movie premiere
Forgot about 1 billion dollar offer for picking the right pope…
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14685977/maga-catho…
Yeah the organisation that invented accounting, has been around for around 2000 years, at one point controlled most of Europe, currently has 177k square km of land across the world (second largest landholder after the British Royal Family) and had four popes from the Medici banking family… yeah I'm sure they'd be swayed by 1 billion units of fiat currency. /s
@tenpercent: But for them Europe would be allah country by now. Just look at architecture in Vienna if you want to know how close they got
You forgot that the recently released blockbuster movie (The Conclave) sowed the seeds of a dead Pope in the masses heads.
Don't forget Trump wore a blue suit at the funeral.
Oh god, the symbolismFTFY
Oh god, the simpletonSorry Craka,can you help me by avoiding anagrams
leader of one of the most religiously intolerant countries on earth. No synagogues, mosques, hindu or buddhist temples in the Vatican city.
And the Swiss have an occupation force always present in the city!
The Swiss Guards. Smart outfit. They know ppl are shit scared of clowns, so they made clown outfits their uniforms.
Its a holy city, it'd be like expecting a 3 star Michelin restaurant to host a Maccas inside it.
How does Saudi Arabia rank in your list?
Why they pick someone at 69 though
Too young to be POTUS.
Wrong species too. Lambs need not apply
Honestly, who cares?
Religion has done nothing good ever but to enrich their leaders.A truly grotesque omen happened just before Pope Leo was chosen. A seagull vomited a rat moments before the white smoke appeared.
https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/world/omenmissed-detail-…
11 years ago when children next to Pope Francis released 2 white doves for peacez the doves were attacked by a seagull and crow. This was just before mass media started pushing race conflicts and the breakdown of race relations in the USA. White seagull. Black crow. An attack on peace.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-25905108
I wonder what the vomited rat will be seen as an omen for in the next few years.
Looks like it was feeding its young.
