American Cardinal Robert Prevost elected Pope Leo XIV in historic vatican ceremony

In a historic moment for the Catholic Church, American-born Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost has been elected pope, becoming the first pontiff born in North America.

Now known as Pope Leo XIV, the 69-year-old Chicago native appeared on the balcony of St Peter’s Basilica to deliver his first public address, greeting thousands gathered in St Peter’s Square with a call for global peace.

Prevost’s election was met with jubilant cheers as the papal tapestry was unfurled and cardinals assembled to present the new pope.

In Italian, he addressed the crowd: “Peace be with all of you. Brothers and sisters dearest, this is the first greeting of Christ resurrected… May peace be with you.”

A former Bishop of Chiclayo in Peru and the head of the Order of Saint Augustine, Pope Leo XIV also held the powerful position of Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops since 2023. His Peruvian-American background and decades of missionary and administrative service in Latin America and the Vatican have reportedly made him a globally respected figure.

  1. Robert Francis Provost.
    French ancestry to juge by surname ( and christian name).
    Leo XIV, Pope
    sounds much alike
    Louis XIV known as the Sun King or Louis the Great

  2. 69 years old and probably Covid vaccinated?
    …he won’t last long.
    BUT-
    Rabbi Shmuley was pushing for a Pope from the U.S. that the Zionists could control.
    Looks like they got their wish, and the Mossad Op is now complete.
    What does this mean?
    It means that an American Pope controls the Catholic Church, and Israel controls (and owns) America & the Catholic Church by both default and proxy!
    So, watch and see a grotesque and bizarre alignment of the Catholic Church and Judaism becoming closer in many policies that are ultimately controlled by Israel.
    Their next target will be furthering the cause of ‘Greater Israel’ with the Catholic Church supporting the same alongside Israel waging a quiet, secretive and subversive war against the Russian Orthodox Church, against the higher-IQ White population, and more oppressive Talmudic Noahide Laws which will become deadly, much to the delight of the modern-day Communist-inspired Bolshevik J3w$!

  3. 50% of Americans are open borders, LGBT, climate change, BLM, pro-globalism communists. An American pope is not a good thing in and of itself. The evil we face is a worldwide one anyway, transcending nationalities.

    So I’ll wait until he starts giving speeches about where he stands on open borders and “gay priests” before I decide how I feel about him.

    But hey, at least the Vatican wasn’t hit by lightning (twice) THIS time around. That’s a good sign I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️

  4. “The first greeting of Christ resurrected?
    I don’t think so…
    That happened on the third day 2025 years ago.
    Look up the Alpha- Numeric values of the following Roman Letters;
    VICARIUS FILII DEI…total these numerical values up and you get…666..!
    Hence, more worldly deception where the very ‘elect’ are deceived.
    OR-how about this;
    TU EST OTRA CHRISTUS (trans.from Latin) meaning “You are another Christ’
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KedKk622ijA
    Jesus (a Nazarene Gnostic, and NOT a J3w..!) taught “Be ye not deceived, for when you hear ‘here is the Christ’, believe it not, for many will come in My name, and will seek deceive the many.” Organised ‘religions’ do just that, especially the Evangelical Christian ‘Churches’ that support demonic, murderous Israel!
    And it must be remembered that the Catholic Institution murdered thousands via the Inquisition, territorial wars, and controlled all of the governments of the Dark Ages and Medieval thru to early Renaissance times, except for the Waldenses.
    Also noted is that God thru Christ stated that ‘Since they believeth a lie, God will send them a strong delusion’. and ‘Having the likeness of God, but denying the power of the same’.
    Conveying the truth of God-In-Christ, and NOT placing or directing one’s faith in institutions and stone structures, resplendent with icons and likeness statues, which Christ said NOT to worship, as they are of dead men’s bones!
    The three Abrahamic Religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam are all satanic masterpieces, loaded with violence, killing, murder, wars and torture, with deprivation and with-holding the essential elemental needs of life (ie food, water, health, due process, etc.)
    And it continues to this day..!
    Here’s another take on the aspects of religion(s)…

  5. While I have no interest in religion, this is a useful opportunity to look at what various media say about the same thing to test their accuracy. NZ Herald and BBC describe Leo XIV as the first American pope (and ignore the fact that Pope Francis was born in South America) while DTNZ correctly reports Leo XIV is the first born in North America

  6. Amongst other things, I noted above that this cardinal was “head of the Order of Saint Augustine” so I looked up Augustine on wikipedia to find that Saint Augustine was the first clear advocate of “Just war theory” which is the idea that war can be morally justifiable. This is the opposite viewpoint of Jesus and the original believers in the New Testament.
