A first for America: The new Pope is one of us

 In one of the quickest Papal conclaves in human history, Robert Prevost, 69, of Chicago was elected as the new Pope earlier today.

The conclave began Wednesday, and ended just after 6 pm in Vatican City (Noon EST).

Prevost will officially be christened Pope Leo XIV, and is the first American-born Pope.

His predecessor, Pope Francis, had his run-ins with president Trump, and we'll soon see if Pope Leo will cause some headaches for the fraudulent "Christian" in the White House (or vice versa).
