Robert Francis Prevost of Chicago Pope Leo XIV
Pope Leo has already performed his first miracle. He kept "what's his name"
out of the front page and off the broadcast media for almost a whole day.
Supposedly, the U.S. and the UK signed the greatest trade agreement in history,
and the world said, "What?"
And somebody said, "The greatest trade deal in
history was just signed by the British Prime minister and the President of the
USA, and the world said, "Who?"
The Vatican has just made the greatest deal so far in the history of the 21st Century.
"On May 8, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected Pope Leo XIV by the College
of Cardinals as the 266th successor of St. Peter, making him the 267th pope
and the first from the United States." Time Magazine: quote; unquote.
Robert Francis Prevost was born on Sept. 14, 1955, to Louis Marius Prevost, and
Mildred MartÃnez; in the "City of the Big Shoulders."
In the hope that the moment
shan't be brief, that the sense that our souls are not yet in the hands of the oppressor,
the politician, the pretender - "This Place," such as it is, should say with awe, and
respect, and love, and no little trepidation, "Welcome to My World, Papa!"
