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.

Supreme leader snoke, sorry pope.
420 votes?
Needs a lot of DEI if you ask me. Need to see a woman, black or trans pope. Otherwise that system is full of fascists
Oh the irony
I sometimes wonder if people underestimate the significance and influence of the Pope.
USA President leads about 340 million people.
Pope leads about 1.3 Billion.
Even in Australia, about 20% identify as Catholic. That's more than most of our political parties recieved.
