That's like asking the Jewish kids to stand in a class at Harvard. No thanks.

They say the Pope "takes a name" to reflect how they plan to lead - to show respect to past Popes...
-'Leo the Great' met with Attila the Hun in an effort to negotiate a peace with Rome - not long after the meeting, Attila the Hun dropped dead - some would even say Attila the Hun was assassinated by his "new wife" - as rumor might have it, a concubine sent by Leo the Great himself - now, that is some straight up gangster Poping going on there
-'Leo XIV' is from Chicago - 'nuff said

Lol ok tight. I don't care about the breathless OuTrAgE from Christian Conservatives, I don't understand a group that worships a guy as the head of the church (I grew up Catholic and never understood the fielty to the Pope), I was joking with the wife about how the new Pope and the mayor of Nairobi have the exact same impact on my life, the way I live it, or anything else.
Odd, don't care, moving on.

This. My thoughts are...isn't God supposed to be the top dog? I'm not questioning anyone and I understand the catholic religion because I have it in my family, but just never could get past this part of it.

Pope is a key part of Catholic structure. But we don't worship him, and we don't also believe that he has a phone line direct to god like Mormons believe their president does. Just do good works, accept Jesus Christ as your savior, and confess your sins. It's not a big thing.
Being Catholic is being Christian. Catholicism is not a religion. Was it the main form of Christianity for a significant portion of early Christianity? Yes.
Being Pope is just being the ecclesiastical leader. The Vatican being a country has a lot of historical significance, but it's meant to be a neutral place a bit like Switzerland.
Dude, going to Catholic School is probably the thing that made me become an atheist/Non-religious. Going to Tuesday/Thursday Mass during school and then a Presbyterian service with my grandparents on Sunday just made some of the Catholic stuff seem extra weird, which led further to comparisons amongst other sects/religions.
Anyways, Laura Loomer says the new Pope is a woke Trump-hating commie, but apparently he's also a homophobe who hates abortion; I'm waiting for the liberal hive mind to tell me what to think about him*. /s
*He seems like every Chicago Catholic I've ever met. Probably shoots malort on Saturday and confesses on Sunday

What did Trump do to get an American to be the next Pope?

Clearly it was a clever bid by the Vatican Cardinals to try and avoid Trumps 10% tariff on indulgences. Sarc
"'Their prayers clearly worked better than the pope’s,' bragged Trump, who is a strong supporter of the U.S. prayer industrial complex."
Vance killed the last one, and the others got the message. Obvi.
