White smoke - who will the new Pope be?

[wondabar]

White smoke has just appeared from the Vatican. Very exciting to see who will emerge as the new Pope

Italian..

I think a second/third world so Philippines or African

I'm just loving the way that an arcane medieval ritual has caught the attention of the breaking news age so well!

I m gonna go with the African guy.

Cardinal Besungu? He's conservative, so hopefully not. Might be one of the Italian Cardinals?

First American pope. Trump’s going to love this.

A man

Robert Prevost, 1st American pope - will be pope Leo 14th apparently

Interesting choice of name. Suggests Trump need not be too delighted

I just hope Trump doesn't turn this into a publicity drive for himself.

Surprise choice. He has a nice smile.
