The smoke above the Vatican is white.

On Thursday evening local time,

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.
