On its second day, the Conclave selected a Cardinal born in the US, who was of partly African-American descent. MAGA heads exploded. People have said all my life that an American would never become pope. Robert Francis Cardinal Prevost was born in Chicago. He was Archbishop of x in Peru and had been working in the Vatican for two years. He was a joint citizen of Peru and the US. I was happy to learn that he had chosen the name Leo. I like Leo XIII. My first question on learning he was from Chicago was to ask: Cubs or White Sox. It turns out to be White Sox.
