I just didn't want to be the first to out his nose ......

Have you never heard of the "Roman nose"? Apparently having a bump on the slope of your nose, or a crooked nose, is NOT an exclusively Jєωιѕн trait.

R.A. has weighed in --

N.B. only the true Roman Catholic Church can elect a successor to St. Peter, not an apostate counterfeit sect that began at the heretical council of 1962-65.

Robert Prevost, Augustinian, born in Chicago in 1955.
BA in Math from Villanova then theological degrees in Rome including a J.C.D.

Took the name Leo XIV so most likely Rerum Novarum, On Capital And Labor, and social issues are a thing to him.

Spent almost entire career in South America and Rome. 

Missionary in mountains of Bolivia, taught in seminary in Peru, Superior General of Augustinians, 'Bishop' in Peru, Prefect of Congregation of Bishops in Rome..

Assumption is through his last office the new widely scattered 'cardinals' were familiar with his name, did not want to go for one of the ranking contenders, so he was a quick 'safe' compromise candidate. Viewed as a 'centrist' in the sect.

Installation on Sunday May 15.

Dear Friends,

Thanks be to God, I had the opportunity to see the new Pope coming on the balcony and receive his first blessing.

The new Pope was born in Chicago, but his last name is French Canadian: Prevost. Possibly his great-grand-father came from Quebec in the late 1800s, like many others, to find work in American factories when times were rough in Canada.

Good News: We are going back to a traditional name of a Pope: Leo. Away with newfangled names like John Paul and Francis. 

But remember: Benedict XVI did the same and came very close to absorbing the Neo-SSPX. This may very well happen now, especially in view of the Neo-SSPX wanting a new bishop.

Bad news: His first message was a promise to continue to move forward after Francis, and look for peace and justice, and work on a Synodal Church. He referred a lot to Francis, and even repeated some of his words. He said the Church welcomes everybody, just like today at St. Peter's square, and we need to dialogue and build bridges. We need to be missionaries of the Gospel. (Fine, but which Gospel? the one of Francis?). In other words: More ecuмenism is on the menu. Except for his reference to the Gospel of St John, when Leo XIV said Christ is the light that dispels darkness, I heard nothing about the need to fight for Truth and against Errors.

If you click on the link of the Cardinals website, you will find more on where he stands. Once again, he is in favor of a Synodal Church. Also, he was accused in 2022 to have covered up the sɛҳuąƖ abuse of 2 of his priests in his Peru diocese, and giving $150,000 in hush money to the victims. Read the whole thing if you want to know more about this new Pope

... can't believe how stupid people are, including priests?  Yeah, great he's got a name that isn't John or Paul or John Paul.  "Good News". 

Yes, and the whole gaggle of these apostates also continue to call themselves "Catholic".

Being the Modernist that he is, would have been better had he dropped the facade and just called himself "Lucifer I".

Note: Matin Luther was also a member of the Order of St. Augustine

Interesting point ...

An American.  Hmmm.  I guess the cardinals wanted to Make the Vatican Great Again .

Wasn't the Pontificate of Leo XIII considered very long? It was around 25 years. The interminable usurpation of wojtyla lasted 27 years.

Prevost is only 69. A long usurpation looms large.

It's a stretch to suggest the taking of the name Leo has something to do with a projected longevity (within which much mischief could be done), but I throw it out there.

Indeed, the vision of Pope Leo includes a companion longevity - a terrible protraction of time in which the Church is plunged into a horrible persecution and even apparent slavery to satan.

Leo XIII composed the Exorcism to St. Michael, the short form, and the prayers at the Foot of the Altar. In a sense, he delivered the Church into the safekeeping of St. Michael. And Lo! today is his Feast Day, within the Octave of the Patron of the Universal Church.

"They" certainly have intentions with regard to this name "Leo XIV."

"They" certainly do not intend their own overthrow.

Independent of that, the name and the date have tremendous meaning to the Church. May Her meanings gain the victory!
