He elected it young, who is the 267th in office. He belongs to the wing of the progressives. However, how did we get to this option?
On Wednesday at noon, the concede was convened in the Sistine Hat and the doors were closed almost immediately. Within the chapel of the Apostolic Palace, the Cardinals voted and failed to agree on the first day on who would be the next Pope.
Crowds have gathered early on the morning of Thursday, May 8- the second day of voting- in St. Peter’s Square, outside the church, and was anxiously waiting to see white smoke rise in the sky. The choice of the new Pontiff is an important event, both for the faithful of the Catholic doctrine and for the rest of the world. This is because its leader is going to determine significant events and developments in the world.
Robert Prevost was elected as the new Pope, after being voted by two-thirds- or more- of the cardinals. Indeed, this is the first American Pontiff. The name he chose is.
What we know about the new Pope
Robert Prevost is the new Pope of Rome. He belongs to the Progressive wing and is going to “open a new chapter” in the history of the Catholic Church.
Born in Chicago on September 14, 1955, he is 69 years old today and has spent most of his life outside the US. He has been a missionary in Peru since 1985 and head of the Augustians. He was not one of the dominant successes for succession, but as a “student” by the deceased Pope Francis, as well as a very close to North American side, he seems to have managed to reach the highest office.
Robert Prevos agrees with his predecessor’s ecological and migration policy. He is considered a man of synthesis and discrimination.
However, as a bishop he was not effective in removing the concealment of clergy abuse.
In 2023, Pope Francis placed him a body leader who judges the choice of bishops. His positioning in the leadership of a very responsible body for bishops’ crises shows his confidence in his administrative gifts and his responsibility. Although he is 69 years old, he was considered an early candidate.
Still, he speaks French, Italian, English, Spanish and Portuguese. Indeed, his first words as a Pontiff were in Italian and Spanish. This may also be due to the French, Italian and Spanish descent from his parents.
It is worth noting that Pope Leo is the first Augustian Pope.
What are Augustinians
The Augustians are members of various religious orders following the rule of St. Augustine, who was written around 400 AD. From Augustine Hippon.
There are two main categories of Augustians in the religious Catholic battalions dating from the 12th-13th century.
The first category consists of various communities of normal rules, which also follow the rule of St. Augustine. That is, they embrace evangelical advice and give a semi -consolidated life. While remaining committed to the pastoral care that suits the priests. Usually, they make up a large community that can serve parishes in their area and are organized in autonomous communities.
The second category consists of various monks who live a mixed religious life with meditation and apostolic ministry.
Pope Leo ‘: “Peace in the world”
“Peace to be with us,” were the first words of the new Pontiff. Pope Leo ID ‘in his first public speech as the supreme leader of the Catholic Church chose to speak to Italian and call all people in a unifying context. He referred to the deceased Pope by making a special mention in his work and his vision.
“Pope Francis blessed the whole world in Easter. God loves the whole world, but does not judge. We all go hand in hand with God we move forward. We are all disciples of Christ, “he also commented.
“With dialogue we will all become one, one people. Thanks to Pope Francis. I thank all the Cardinalis brothers, who chose me to be a successor to St. Peter, “said Pope Leo ID.
What can the name of Leo mark
The most recent Pope Leo XIII (1878–1903), known for the papal circular.
The circular deals with the “position of workers” at the dawn of the industrial age, laying the foundations for a Christian view of social and economic issues. Recognizes the injustice of uncontrolled capitalist exploitation, but also rejects the socialism of the time as an anti -social and dangerous of the social class.
The choice of this name could indicate a return to traditional values and the enhancement of the teaching of the Catholic Church on social issues.
Trump is looking forward to meeting the Pope, but the Pontiff?
However, the new Pontiff has criticized the US president, his government and the way he is practicing politics.
The Pope has shared several critical posts for both Donald Trump himself and US vice president Jay Di Vans.
One of his posts against the US government wrote: “There is nothing Christian, American or morally justified in a policy that removes children from their parents and stores them in cages. This is done in our name and shame is ours. “
His latest post- though republishing- is a particularly sharp comment to Donald Trump: “As Trump and Bouquel use the oval for (emoji crying from laughter) the illegal expulsion from the federals of a US resident (Link). +Evelio asks: “Don’t you see the pain? Your consciousness is not troubled? How can you remain silent? “
This post refers to the meeting of Nagib Bouquel, El Savador’s president, and Donald Trump, who decided to send immigrants from the US to El Savador. What Pope Leo emphasizes with this publication is that the two men do not understand the “suffering” that these practices cause to citizens.

The attack on Vance
Similarly, he had republished an opinion article by the National Catholic Reporter, entitled “Jay Di Vance is wrong: Jesus did not ask us to evaluate our love for others”. The article was published after comments made by the US Vice President of Fox News, stating that much of the left had overturned the Christian perception of “Love your neighbor”.

What preceded before the appearance of the new Pope on the balcony
The Dean of the College of the Cardinals is to ask the elected man: “Do you accept your normal election as a supreme modifice?” If he agrees, he must decide his papal name.
The cardinals will swear obedience to the New Pope.
It is then transferred to the next room, the tear room, where it will change the crimson uniform of the cardinal and wear a white papal robe. Usually, small, medium and large rashes have been manufactured in advance.
This time there is a belief that the Vatican has recycled a rack, which were made for previous concussions.
