Meh. I would have been truly impressed had he named him Leo XIV.

[Axtremus]

Why Leo XIV? Why not Bob I?

[jon-nyc]

Don’t deadname the pope.

Anybody heard from @Ivorythumper ?

No, and I've never seen him in the same room as the new Pope.

I do remember IT talking about that World Series game in 2005….

It's so obvious what's going on, but then truth tellers are marginalized as "conspiracy theorists".

Come to think of it, my parents have a cat named Leo too.

Man, my stories are so great it's hard to even appreciate them.

The secret conclave that elected Pope Leo head of the Catholic Church last May was interrupted when one of the 133 cardinals involved was found carrying a cellphone, a massive security breach, a book released on Sunday revealed.

As the clerics were preparing to take their first vote inside the Vatican's Sistine Chapel, which was fitted with jamming equipment to prevent outside communications, security officials picked up the signal of an active mobile connection.

The cardinals stared at each other incredulously, then one of the older clerics discovered he had a phone in his pocket and handed it over, according to "The Election of Pope Leo XIV", a new book by two long-time Vatican correspondents.

The book does not name the cardinal or suggest he had any motive for keeping his phone, saying the moment left him "disoriented and distressed".

What were they trying to hide?
