New Pope

What we know:

He's not as photogenic as the previous one, way more photogenic than the one before.

He's an American (from Chicago) with Peruvian citizenship after having lived there many years.

He chewed out JD Vance that one time for being completely and utterly wrong and heartless.

He's about as progressive as we can hope for from Catholic hierarchies - no dramatic rebound to traditionalism, anyway.

He wasn't the bookies' favorite choice, so if you bet on him you made serious cash.

Yeah, it is, but there's Catholics and there's Catholics, you know?
