Well, I think that he was a close ally with Pope Francis and as such will probably be willing to stand up to the Trump administration in the same way that the Vatican has for the last dozen years, talking out against the treatment of migrants, talking out against the treatment of people in Gaza and the way the war is being conducted there.
So it could be somebody who's willing to go head to head and a very prominent American figure willing to go head to head with another prominent American figure, the American president.
Well, I think it's stunning. Prevost's name had come up, of course, because of his position there in the Vatican. He's considered well-qualified given his pastoral and administrative experience, but the U.S. is not the center of the Catholic world. And Vatican watchers said the U.S. has enough global power already.
And the church, you know, Steve, is far more vibrant in other places, places where it's growing, like in Latin America and Africa and Asia. You know, Pope Francis, in fact, dramatically diversified the College of Cardinals during his papacy to reflect that. Many more cardinals from other parts of the world, but ones who chose an American.
It is important to note that while Pope Leo is from the United States, he spent much of his life and ministry outside of the U.S., in Peru and at the Vatican. So he does bring a truly global perspective to the job.
Well, as much as there have been lots of conversations about church politics and global affairs, today is a day of religious ceremony and spiritual preparation leading up to the votes. A morning mass in St. Peter's Basilica, which is the only public event. A procession from the Vatican's Pauline Chapel to the Sistine Chapel while chanting the Litany of Saints.
the hymn Veni Creator Spiritus to invoke the Holy Spirit, then an oath while touching the Gospels, the call extra omni sending out all those not directly involved in the election, a final sermon, and then the voting begins.
Well, Cardinal Michael Cherney is a Canadian Jesuit who has worked here at the Vatican under Pope Francis. This is his first time participating in a conclave. He's only been a cardinal since 2019 when Francis made him one. He says that cardinals are not focusing on the politics of the church or of the world when they're making this decision.
Czerny stressed several times with me that he considers this election a religious experience, not primarily a political one. And I think that's something we don't pay enough attention to in secular culture and what makes the outcome so unpredictable.
Well, it's clear from what the Vatican has been telling us about these meetings that are happening with the cardinals that they are serious issues of war and peace, migration and climate change. But Cardinal Czerny says he's not anxious.
But still, the Vatican is also telling us that the cardinals are discussing internal problems, church finances, clergy sex abuse, as well as divisions within the church over doctrine.
Well, A, about 20% of Americans identify as Catholic, and large majorities hold views that contradict official church teaching, teachings from the Pope. One example, Pew Research finds that even though abortion is considered a grave sin within Catholicism, 6 in 10 American Catholics believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases.
Despite disagreeing with Church teaching, many American Catholics keep a close eye on who the Pope is because he sets the tone and the agenda for the whole Church. So as we look at this conclave, more progressive Catholics might be delighted by someone like Pope Francis because of his focus on issues like poverty, migration, and the environment.
At the same time, more conservative Catholics are looking for someone more traditional, focused on that church doctrine.
You're welcome.
bottom line, especially if they make chemicals, fertilizer, and equipment more expensive. You know, it's just a government interference into the markets that affect our lives every day. Kagey says he hopes public backlash over tariffs will push Republicans to once again embrace free market principles like they did before Trump became the GOP's leader roughly a decade ago.

I would not be.
Well, after a pope dies, within 15 to 20 days, the eligible cardinals, which means any cardinal from around the world who is under the age of 80... comes to Rome, and they're having meetings right now, in fact, this week and early next week, where they're discussing all of the issues facing the church. And then next week, they will go to Mass, they will process into the Sistine Chapel.
Somebody will say, get out if you're not a cardinal, and they will lock them in. Only the eligible cardinals can be in there, and they will start voting.
