With the white smoke rising from the roof of the Vatican Church, after several rounds of elections, the cardinals of various countries decided on a new Pope.Robert Prevost, who has French ancestry, American nationality, is a registered Republican but confronts Trump on social media and has long been preaching in South America, wore a triple crown after five rounds of elections.
When Xinhua News Agency reported this news, it did not use the Latin word Leo XIV but the translation of Leo XIV.
The "One Church and One Delegation" of the Chinese Catholic Church sent a congratulatory message to the new Pope Leo XIV, expressing their congratulations on his election as Pope.
CNN once described the International Olympic Committee election held in Greece at the end of March as being like an election for the Pope, and when comparing these two elections, there are interesting similarities.
The new president of the International Olympic Committee, Costie Coventry, is a direct descendant of the former president Bach, and Robert Prevost is also regarded as the successor of the policy ideas of the former Pope Francis.
Neither of them was a popular candidate before the election.
However, Robert Prevost did not receive absolute support in the first round like Curtis Coventry. Instead, he went through multiple rounds of voting.
Before the election, his name was not even on the list of potential papal candidates of most gambling companies.
Only a very small number of gambling companies offered a betting ratio of +3300, and it even once expanded to +5000.
Robert Prevost lagged far behind the other 14 cardinals.
This American, who was born in Chicago in 1955, like the former Pope, has long preached in South America. In 2023, he returned to Europe and became the head of the Bishops' Division of the Holy See, helping Francis further weaken the voice of European cardinals.
"Thank God" is Messi's favorite phrase after the game.
Every time lebron James breaks a record, he also calls out the name of God.
After becoming "the spokesperson of God", the life of Robert Prevost has become the focus of attention from the outside world.
For example, does he like sports? Which football team does he support?
As is known to all, the former Pope Francis was a football fan. He is a member of the fan club of SAN Lorenzo in Argentina and received the club's membership card No. 88235 under his real name, Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
Furthermore, in his youth, Francis also played on the field and served as a goalkeeper.
Then what about Robert Prevost, who graduated from the Department of Mathematics at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, USA, and obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics?
