As a person that lived in Chicago for a very long stretch, I can assure you this will not happen.

No worries here. Whether he's a good or bad pope will play out, but either way the Church will go on.
God bless Pope Leo XIV. It is God's will that he lead the Church, may he be receptive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is great to see a young, healthy Holy Father. And what a moment for us American Catholics.
Uh oh

Outreach to the poor?! HERESY!
Mainly its just their learning approach in areas and perspectives they've studied viewed through St. Augustine. Very community service oriented. So as far as I'm concerned, its a good thing but not necessarily defining one way or another in how they will lead in this role.powerbelly said:

Are we to assume from his background in nominating bishops that he was a central figure in the removal of the conservative bishop in Tyler?

The views of Francis were Mother Earth and mass unchecked illegal immigration. I honestly know nothing about this new Pope but if it is indeed a continuity with Francis we are in for a rough time. Hopefully he is not

There's a world of difference between "outreach to the poor" and "preferential option for the poor."schmendeler said:HtownAg19 said:

He's also a canon lawyer and has a math degree from Villanova. Whatever his inclinations might be, ambiguity is not likely to be an issue for him.
