Robert Francis Prevost, 69,
was elected as the new Pope. He took the name Leo XIV,
the first Leo in over a
hundred years. While Catholics worldwide
celebrated him, some were less than happy.
On social media, MAGA supporters are now criticizing Leo.
Only two days after the
conclave of Catholic cardinals met in
Vatican City and looked
themselves in the Sistine Chapel to
elect a new pope,
the smoke on top of the building was white;
a new pope had been elected.
American Robert Prevost appeared on the balcony of St. Peter’s
Basilica to the roar of thousands
of people gathered in St Peter’s Square.
He took the name Leo XIV,
meaning 13 popes before him have chosen.
