@Nonilex I love the fact that the Cardinals celebrate the election of a new Pope by basically lighting up some huge joints, and hot boxing the Vatican until white smoke leaves the chimney. @lowqualityfacts

'#Peace be with you all', #Pope #LeoXIV says in his first public words.Cardinal #RobertPrevost, 69, is an #American who has spent much of his career as a #missionary in #Peru, is relatively unknown.Made a cardinal by #PopeFrancis in 2023, he has given few media interviews & rarely speaks in public.Originally from #Chicago, he has attracted interest from his peers because of his quiet style & support for Francis' 12yr papacy, especially his commitment to #SocialJustice issues.

Prevost served as a bishop in Chiclayo, in northwestern #Peru, 2015–2023.#PopeFrancis brought him to Rome that year to head the Vatican office in charge of choosing which priests should serve as #Catholic bishops across the globe.Prevost said during a 2023 Vatican press conference: "Our work is to enlarge the tent & to let everyone know they are welcome inside the Church."#Pope #LeoXIV #RobertPrevost #American #Chicago #SocialJustice

From the ChicagoSunTimes:Cardinal #RobertPrevost, born in #Chicago, is the 1st American #pope“I’m really proud,” said Noelle Neis, a childhood friend who, w/her 4 siblings, grew up in the same parish as the Prevosts, the old St. Mary of the Assumption on Chicago’s border w/Dolton.“To think about we knew him when he was a kid,” Neis said. “He’s just like one of us. Before it was so out of reach for anybody.”#Pope #LeoXIV https://chicago.suntimes.com/religion/2025/05/08/cardinal-robert-prevost-raised-in-dolton-is-the-first-american-pope

I wonder, given #RobertPrevost’s many years spent in #SouthAmerica, if the choice was related at all to the current cruelty of Trump’s #immigration policies & #deportations of #LatinAmericans.Notable that after #Pope #LeoXIV gave his remarks in Italian he spoke in #Spanish, but the Chicago born #American did not speak in English.

@Nonilex I meanhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-pope-could-it-be-american-cardinal-robert-prevost/#Article published just yesterday .... This quote!"Cardinal George of Chicago, of happy memory, was one of my great mentors, and he said: 'Look, until America goes into political decline, there won't be an American pope.' And his point was, if America is kind of running the world politically, culturally, economically, they don't want America running the world religiously. So, I think there's some truth to that, that we're such a superpower and so dominant, they don't wanna give us, also, control over the church."

@Nonilex My neighbor is a Catholic who's voted blue in every election since McGovern, his first at 18. He was also raised partly in Chicago. He is STOKED about a Chicago born Pope who has criticized Trump and Vance. He's like, "I know his high school! We would have been classmates!"Of course, we'll have to see what the new pope does. But I do wonder if this is meant to lift the spirits of US Catholics like my neighbor, and tell Trump and Vance exactly what the Catholic church thinks of them.

‼️ #Prevost, who has taken the name #Pope #LeoXIV, has shared several highly critical posts about #Trump & his #immigration policies on X.One scathing post Prevost retweeted read: “There is nothing remotely Christian, American, or morally defensible about a policy that takes children away from their parents & warehouses them in cages. This is being carried out in our name & the shame is on us all.”https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/new-pope-robert-prevost-politics-trump-vance-b2747500.html

The Pope also previously shared an OpEd from the National Catholic Reporter titled: “#JDVance is wrong: Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others,”following comments #Vance made on FauxNews in Feb.During the interview, Vance said, “There is a Christian concept that you love your family & then you love your neighbor, & then you love your community, & then you love your fellow citizens, & then after that, prioritize the rest of the world. A lot of the far left has completely inverted that”

New #Pope Has #Creole Roots in #NewOrleansHis ancestry, traced to a historic enclave of Afro-Caribbean culture, links #LeoXIV to the rich & sometimes overlooked #Black #Catholic experience in #America.Robert Francis #Prevost, the #Chicago-born cardinal selected on Thurs as the new pope, is descended from Creole people of color from New Orleans.https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/us/pope-leo-creole-new-orleans.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=p&pvid=6B3B45C4-19FA-473D-B6BD-A937C1601A35

#Pope #LeoXIV’s maternal grandparents, both of whom are described as #Black or mulatto in various historical records, lived in the city’s Seventh Ward, an area that is traditionally #Catholic & a melting pot of people w/African, Caribbean & European roots.The grandparents, Joseph Martinez & Louise Baquié, eventually moved to #Chicago in the early 20th century & had a daughter: Mildred Martinez, the pope’s mother.

The discovery means that #LeoXIV, as the #pope will be known, is not only breaking ground as the first US-born pontiff. He also comes from a family that reflects the many threads that make up the complicated & rich fabric of the American story.The pope’s background was unearthed Thursday by a #NewOrleans genealogist, Jari C. Honora, and confirmed to The New York Times by the pope’s older brother, John #Prevost, 71, who lives in the #Chicago suburbs.

It’s unclear whether the new #pope has ever addressed his #Creole ancestry in public, & his brother said that the family did not identify as #Black. The announcement of his election in Rome focused on his early life in #Chicago & decades of service in #Peru.Honora, who works at the Historic #NewOrleans Collection, a museum in the French Quarter, began investigating the pope’s background because of his French-sounding name, #prevost but quickly found connections to the South instead.#LeoXIV

His trail of evidence linking #Pope #LeoXIV to #NewOrleans includes the grandparents’ marriage certificate from their Seventh Ward wedding in 1887, a photo of the Martinez family grave marker in #Chicago, & an electronic birth record of Mildred Martinez that shows she was born in Chicago in 1912.The birth record lists Joseph Martinez & “Louis Baquiex” as Mildred’s parents. The father’s birthplace is listed as the #DominicanRepublic; the mother’s, New Orleans.

Joseph Martinez’s exact place of birth remains a bit of a mystery—Honora also found an 1870 Census record that says the #pope’s maternal grandfather was born in Louisiana. But he said it was not uncommon for people to change their responses on ofcl records.Joseph Martinez & Louise Baquié married at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart in #NewOrleans. Until it was destroyed by a hurricane in 1915, the church bldg was on Annette Street in the city’s 7th Ward, a historic center of Afro-#Creole culture.

#Creoles, also known as “Creole people of color,” have a history almost as old as #Louisiana. While the word #Creole can refer to people of European descent who were born in the Americas, it commonly describes mixed-race people of color.Many Louisiana Creoles were known in the 18th & 19th centuries as “gens de couleur libres,” or free people of color. Many were well educated, French-speaking & Roman Catholic.#Pope #LeoXIV

“I hate to say it, but we feel, many of us, that our history was hidden from us,” said Ms. Villavasso Cherrie, 79, a retired teacher. In part, she said, that’s because many Creoles have been able to “pass” as white over the years.It was only w/the advent of the internet, she said, that many people began to research their family history & became aware of their #Creole roots. She noted that a significant number of #Louisiana Creoles migrated to the #Chicago area in the 20th century.#Pope #LeoXIV
