Many Catholics around the world must marvel at the wild diversity of Pope Leo XIV's reaction to the election in the United States.
On the day of Pope Leo's elevation, travelling abroad from X, what was approaching half of the hot take from the American media was baseball and deep dish pizza. Another subset of the response is that Villanova graduates have elbows on a fellow Notre Dame rib that involves learning and approving a nod from a friend who is a graduate of Boston College, Holy Cross, or Georgetown. There is baseball, and there is “American Catholicism in baseball.”
The African Catholic faithful thinks of the Cubs White Sox chatter, or the flock of the new pope's old parish made an autopsy in the American Catholic media of Leo named “Bishop Bob's” and the choice of “Lehramnobalum”, the world's Catholic Catholic, none of the world's Catholic, none of the 140 million Catholics, none of the world's Catholics, none of the American choices, but are reassuring by the obvious love of him from the Peruvian “family” – and even if tens of thousands of people in St. Peter's Square applause, anyone with a red hat looks happy. However, for a generation of generations of his time at age 69, the surprising response is the idea that one of our numbers is the heir to St. Peter's mission as the “rock” in which the church of Christ is built.
Pope Leo XIV calls this a challenge to “human dignity” in his first speech to the Cardinal.
The new Pope is six months older than me and is therefore “OK Boomer” American Catholic, but has the spirit of missionaries and a passion for serving the poor. However, he can't escape (or perhaps want to get away with) the upbringing of the 1960s and 1970s, failing to get “laughing” references, Farrah Fawcett posters, Saturday night fever (especially John Travolta's older brother and his older brother who quit his shock after quitting his family) and chin siblings. I think it's all new to the Pope. I don't know if the American media he's reading now is following the MLB rankings or the NFL draft. But he is definitely a child of so many “mysterious years” and a reference to the 1988 television series about being an American child in the '60s starring Fred Savage and Danica McKellar, who began in 1988 and ran for six years.
Pope Leo was almost certainly an altar boy when a major switch was made from Latin to English for Mass. I left people who worked to memorize Latin beyond Latin.
Pope Leo knows big things – he's a Canon lawyer – and the altar boys in America are usually turned over at weddings, forgotten at funerals, and a good Friday cross station is a big deal.
If Chicago's parochial schools were like Ohio's schools, the classes were large, often over 40, but the sisters and their congregations maintained order. (Yes, they weren't that difficult.) Stage nails “late night catechism” back then and at those schools. And if that “one sister” show runs near you, it's best to read more about the development of a new pope than anything else in the American press.
In our youth, the priest came to dinner and drank a drink before, during and after. They were good men and ordinary people, but quite a respected figure, and the house was cleaned before they came. “Father” usually handed out primary school report cards.
In two words, there was “respect and respect” in its presence, in order, before and during the visit, including the playground, gym, school PTA, and the Parish Council meeting. As young professionals in the Beltway in the early 80s, old school friends gathered to welcome Monsignors when he came to town. Though a terrible scandal about child abuse certainly happened, a crime that hurt so many people, at the time the original “men” were overwhelmingly good people and remained true to their vows of sacrifice.
Leo the XIV almost certainly remembers where he was when St. John Paul the Great was shot. He will still remember it with shocking clarity. And I think he would respect St. John Paul the Great. Because the saint will work with Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush and Margaret Thatcher to help Reck Washsa first defeat the Communist government of the Warsaw Pact and then the entire “Evil Empire.”
I pray that Pope Leo is thinking about his predecessor's deal with the Chinese Communist Party, which I don't know, will inform Xi Jinping, whom he has learned, that the rebels of imprisoned, and the devout Catholic Jimmy Lai, should be released and sent to England quickly or for treatment from the “invisible division.”
I pray that he amends due to Pope Francis' inexplicable hostilities against some of the great American Catholic leaders of the last quarter, and promotes Charles Chaput and Archbishop Jose Joracio Gomez to Cardinals University. Francis's palpable anti-American vibe was just as unnecessary as it was split up. (Native American Chaput is now born in Mexico with Archbishop of Philadelphia, and is retiring from Gomez, who leads the Parish of Los Angeles, and at least reflects modern Americans, just like everyone else at university. The former Pope may have carried the hostility to sleep in peace. The last pope's casual optional remarks lead Chaput to lead the Chaput for the leadership of Archbishop Cordillon of West Coast. Please.

On Pope Leo's understanding: I bet that he knows at least one, if not at least one, of Gilligan's Island, Green Acre, and Mr. Ed's theme songs. I'd like to know the title of his album collection, but Leo wants to collect dust somewhere in his brother's attic, unless Leo sells it, to make money for the poor. Unless you have a common touch that comes from the common culture of the time, I don't think that the American baby booming babies will rise in Universal Churches.
Most Catholics of all kinds and ages in America have a knowledge of the obligations that what is taught in the parochial schools of that era are supported by the wealthy people. My parish – and I wouldn't be surprised if his old one (now reportedly closed) sponsored at least one refugee family from South Vietnam, resettled all over the United States after the collapse of Saigon in 1975.
If the new Pope learns to gamble due to a small interest in the summer diocese carnival that continues to this day, that would be no exception and the rule. Is he a Villa Nova Wildcats basketball nut, like most Villa Nova alumni I've ever met? Who knows what the Mathematics major is doing, but he probably fills his share of brackets, understands batting averages, and has probably seen live more than a few times on Saturday nights. The pressure on young men from Villanova (as well as their calling in the US) is how wonderful (and evangelical) to see the Pope's courtside in the final four of the future.

The actual “universally held belief” that Americans were not elected, rather than mere “conventional” wisdom, fell like many such beliefs over the decades, for many reasons we can speculate. But not only has a perfect candidate emerged who could please both Francis' preference for immigration and Francis' preference for desperately poor people, but if not all, it could ease the concerns of Cardinals, who recognized the expansion division with American Catholicism and expand the division, then it could be expanded.
who knows? Not anyone. Even Pope Leo XIV is by the Vatican deep in the world and financial turmoil he is on fire, so I would guess. All opinions are premature until after one or two consistency. Popes may be added to the Cardinals College men. Pope Leo continued to heal the embrace that St. John Paul began, and healed the divinity of Jesus Christ first, and was able to do much to repair the church's violations, as Benedict and Francis, a global church that usually reminded of speed of heartbeat, continued.
