Something To Think About This Weekend
Surprise! The New Pope Is From The USA
There were lots of hopefuls in the Conclave. My personal favorite was the Cardinal Tagle from the Philippines. I certainly didn’t have a Cardinal from Chicago/Peru on my radar at all. Robert Francis Prevost was chosen by the College of Cardinals as the 267th Pope, and he will go by Leo XIV. The new Pope holds a math degree from Villanova and is an Augustinian.
Most of his career was spent as a missionary, so he knows how to be among the people, like Pope Francis. It will be interesting to see what he does and how much he will emulate Francis.
I am not a Catholic, but I hold the Catholic Church in high esteem. My hope is that he will energize the faithful and inspire them to reach out to those on the margins. God be with Leo XVI.

And The Conclave Begins, Choosing A New Pope
The College of Cardinals is sequestered and are beginning their work of choosing the 267th Pope who will lead the Catholic Church. Now the faithful and the curious are looking at a chimney that is coming out of the Sistine Chapel. They have had one vote and that chimney was blowing black smoke, meaning they have more votes to come. It will be interesting to see who they select. Right now, God only knows.

Quote Of The Day
As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale, Carney said. Having met with the owners of Canada over the course of campaign…it’s not for sale. It won’t be for sale ever.
