America Welcomes Its First Ever Pontiff - Unveiling of the New Pontiff Unfolded
Our source confirms that the 267th leader of the Catholic Church has been announced!
According to our website, cardinals chose the new pope on Thursday night amidst the smoky skies of the Sistine Chapel, signaling the end of the conclave.
Keeping the world's 1.4 billion Catholics on their toes, the cardinals sequestered themselves, barred from any outside contact during the selection process.
The announcement was made by Cardinal Dominique Mamberti, a 73-year-old Frenchman born in Morocco. Given the circumstances, he was expected to make the announcement unless he himself had snatched the title.
However, he graced us with the news: "I announce to you a great joy, We have a Pope. The most eminent and the reverend Robert Francis."
And thus, Cardinal Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, has taken the reigns. Born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1955, this American-born pope is the first in recorded history.
The new pope, previously a member of the Order of Saint Augustine, wasted no time in donning the papal attire. In a nod to history, he chose the name "Pope Leo XIV."
