Today, around 6:10 pm, white smoke appeared over the Sistine chapel, as is known to mean the pope's choice. The Pope appeared on the balcony after 19. He was elected fast enough, due to the fact that he was already voted fifth. This is surely a historical moment, due to the fact that Cardinal Robert Francis Provost, who took the name of Leon XIV, is the first pope from North America.
The cardinal was created by Francis. As a substance of fact, he was late elevated to Cardinal's dignity – 30 September 2023. In the coming months of the pontificate of Leon XIV we will see what imagination the recently elected Pope has – an analysis of his views we will describe in the coming days. We know that he has served as a associate of the Conference of the Episcopal Conference of Peru, the Prefect of the Bishops' Dicastery, and was twice general of the Augustinian order, from 2001 to 2013.
We gotta wait for the first Holy Mass celebrated by the Pope, due to the fact that it is usually then that the main direction of the full pontificate is outlined.
