.....
the new Pope is a Chicago guy who worked in Peru as a missionary (and I believe is a citizen of that country).
Being an ex missionary, this means a lot of the culture war stuff will not work.
In Peru, the Shining path rebels killed a lot of innocent peasants, so maybe liberation theology might not be popular. On the other hand, seeing corruption, atrocities by both the insurgents and the government military, including government overreach of arrests, and the wide gulf between the rich and the poor makes one a bit less sympathetic to Trumpieboy's push for big business and his plan to deport a lot of people who are just wanting to live in a peaceful land and work hard to support their families.
But the really important question for Yanks is: Is the new Pope a Cubs fan?
Grok answers:
Yes, Pope Leo XIV, previously Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, is reportedly a Chicago Cubs fan. Born in Chicago, his support for the Cubs has been noted by sources like ABC News and has sparked enthusiastic reactions among fans on social media.
But according to USATODAY, his brother claims he is a WhiteSox fan.

for non Yanks, Wikipedia has an entry about the White Sox vs Cubs feud.
