🚨 Holy Habemus Papam, Batman! 🚨

In a plot twist that not even HBO could’ve written, the Vatican has just dropped its hottest mixtape: New Pope Alert! That’s right—after puffing out that signature white smoke (aka the Church’s version of a gender reveal), the conclave of 133 cardinals chose their guy, and surprise! He’s American. Like, born-in-Chicago, probably-had-a-deep-dish-once American.

Say hello to Pope Leo XIV, formerly known as Cardinal Robert Prevost, now spiritually upgraded to Boss of the Catholic Universe™.

The dramatic reveal happened on May 8—kind of like the Oscars, but with way more incense and way fewer awkward speeches. Cardinal Dominique François Joseph Mamberti (a man whose name sounds like a Da Vinci Code character) emerged onto the Vatican balcony, gave the crowd that classic “Habemus Papam!” vibe, and introduced the world to Pope Leo XIV.

Fun facts about our new Holy Head Honcho:

  • He’s 69. (Nice.)
  • Born in Chicago, the Windy City, so we assume he’s already blessed Lou Malnati’s.
  • He ran the Vatican’s bishop HR department, a.k.a. “The Most Holy Hiring Manager of the Catholic Church.”

And now? He’s the top dog. The big mitre. The Supreme Pontiff. The Popiest of Popes.

In his debut as spiritual CEO, Pope Leo XIV gave the crowd a heartfelt “Peace be with you all!” as he waved, blessed, and probably wondered how many papal selfies he’s about to be asked for.

So buckle up, Church fam—we’ve got an American Pope with Latin American street cred and Vatican admin skills. It’s about to get holy and efficient up in here.
