I kinda like the new Pope. [View all]

I think he's kind of cute, looks good for 69, and I like his background. I don't know much about him. I did like Pizzaballa for the name, but I really like the Pope's new name Leo. Pope Leo. I'm sure there will be ideas of his that I don't like, but I'm not Catholic, so I can oppose anything I don't like.

The main thing is, he seems to be in opposition to Trump, et al., and doesn't seem to be afraid to state it. So far, so good. I hope he never lets himself be summoned to the WH. I don't think he can be, but I think that as the head of the Catholic Church, people go to him. I hope he can travel around to visit poor people, and all that stuff. I hope that he adds a new dimension to Christianity in the sense that he points out that all these rump clowns are not practicing Christianity as they claim.

Congratulations, Catholics everywhere. I hope you are happy with the choice! Pope Leo. That's cool. Have to get him in a pair of shades. Is that allowed?
