Just to be clear, despite the political tone around the nationality of the new pope...
Pope Leo XIV is Peruvian, he was a Peruvian bishop, and was in Rome as a Peruvian Cardinal. He is a Peruvian Pope.
He has a US passport as well as a Peruvian one, but to call him American without reference to his chosen nationality and long life in Peru is to make an inaccurate political statement.
White smoke, Black pope? Perhaps Pope Leo XIV is the Blackest pope you’ve never seen. According to several reports his maternal grandparents were Black. (Someone will say, “I don’t care what color the pope is.” Yet some of those people don’t say that same thing when the pope is white.)
The Catholic Church has a new Pope, and he explicitly cited the threats AI presents for workers as a reason for choosing the name Leo XIV.
With the tech industry doing all it can to defend its power, could the Pope be an ally against the AI onslaught?

BTW there is another low-key protest happening in #Chicago today. if you’re #catholic, you can call it the #NoKings but the King of kings protest, featuring #PopeSouthSide
“Pope Leo to deliver 1st address to US audience in video message in Chicago”

no, i don’t think it’s a coincidence #PopeLeo chose today for his address. this is counterprogramming. Prevost is notoriously anti #MAGA ; ie: he supports L.A.’s cardinal call for clergy to protect migrants from #ICE
