CONGRATULATIONS POPE LEO XIV.
As you set out to lead millions of Catholics worldwide, wisdom, I offer up prayers for you.
AMEN

otomatic:


It is the office that lives long not the individual, i suppose.

Don't mind him. He's not a deep man so understands things from surface.

Ishilove:

You are the one who needs to read slowly. He was called both a Frenchman and an American citizen in the same article.

You actually need to read slowly, it's the perfect of the apostolic signatory who announces the new Pope that's French and Moroccan.

The new Pope is of Irish American

Ishilove:

Terribly written article

OP didn't construct it well

fergie001:
As announced from the balcony of St. Peter's by the Prefect of the Apostolic Signature, Cardinal Dominique Mamberti, a 73-year-old Frenchman born in Morocco.

Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum: Habemus papam: Eminentissimum ac reverendissimum Dominum Prevost, Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalem sco, qui sibi nomen imposuit Leo XIV.

He is the 267th Pope and the first American to be so named. He is to be known as Pope Leo XIV. He is a member of the Order of St Augustine.

Tjra:
All I see is the hand of Donald Trump

Of course... The Catholic Church needs America 🇺🇸 funding and resources...

The church has financial needs globally

tunary:
Them don start again.

If you ever think a Nigerian will ever become a pope you better start having a rethink

But Jesus was black.

Why are your people not worthy to be pope?

Earliest images of Jesus and the Hebrews depicted them as Blacks.

Jesus

I love that he is from US 😍 😍

RightToReject:



Stop the misinformation. He is not originally from Peru, rather he is a Peruvian citizen by naturalization, given that he lived most part of his study and service lives there. He has no Peruvian descendancy; he is a pure American with French, Italian, and Spanish descendancy through both of his parents.

Smh.

You are the chief misinformant if in one breadth you are confirming my hunch that he has Italian roots and still restating it as misinformation.

He is a Peruvian citizen and I don't believe he is originally from US. No Caucasian US citizen, apart from the native American Indians is originally from America.

Many of you just have serious comprehension issues.

id911:

Why did you say Peruvian American? The new pope was born in Chicago.

Oga go and read
He's also a naturalized Peruvian

For those saying they see the hand of Trump in this, The process of electing a pope, known as a papal conclave, is a secretive and internal affair of the Catholic Church, where cardinals gather to vote on a new leader.

*Key Aspects of Papal Conclave:*

- *Eligibility:* Only cardinals under the age of 80 are eligible to vote.
- *Secrecy:* The conclave is held in secret, with cardinals taking an oath of absolute secrecy.
- *Voting Process:* Cardinals vote by secret ballot until a candidate receives two-thirds of the vote.
- *Influences:* The selection process is influenced by the College of Cardinals' discussions and debates about the needs and challenges facing the Catholic Church globally.

Everyday247:

Nairaland has always been a leveler, so I don't blame your type whenever I come across you. Instead of you to it your failure, here you're trying to twist everything. Once again, he's not "originally from Peru" as you falsely asserted - he has no Peruvian descendancy. He's a natural-born American - originally American. Citizenship has levels, boy.

meobizy:
Finally, a small boy. At least this one will last for ten years before dying.

Lol, you no serious... Lol

OriOko88:

I love Latin die. It sounds spiritual and original.
Instead of teaching us French as second language in secondary sch then,we shud hv been taught Latin. Dat language deep. I heard most lawyers understand Latin. I no know why

Me too, I too love the Latin, there should have been options, so those who wants to go for French will go and those who wants Latin can go...

But I'm sure they have few teachers who might know Latin, that's why..

nairalee:
First American Pope ever!!!

Can't wait for Trump to brag with this.
This is something sleepy Joe couldn't achieve. I'm the BEST President ever for making this work. Make America Great Again

when trump worn the Pope cloth he was actually telling us the next pope is coming from America but we didn't listen

Influenced

What is the essence self it will not change price of Gari here

An American? This means Trumps' AI Pope picture wasn't all a joke.
#Congrats to him.

FOOLISH PEOPLE

AS IF THE TRUMPET WILL SOUND NOW

African catholic christians especially Nigeria's Catholics that carry catholic church for head like gala,how far ?

Is a pity

Tjra:

You are not current.m and why you made that statement.

Dig up more and you will know that if Trump had a hand in it, it would NEVER be that guy.

Donald Trump Must Have Rigged it.
From When I Saw Trump's Al Dressed In Pope's Cassock , I Suspect Something Was Cooking. God Bless The New Pope

I mean what exactly are they voting for!!

Omoh..
Putin will just be laughing.

Don't quote me ooo

Donald trump wants to control everything

obailala:

So many countries mentioned here, I'm confused. I first read Frenchman, then I saw Morocco and then America was mentioned and finally Peru.

Oh lest I forget, possible Italian roots as well

He wasn’t born in any Morocco joor 😅 he’s from the east coast of America. Nairaland own news always Dey different 😆
