US Cardinal Prevost elected Pope Leo XIV, first American pontiff
I don't care for Christianity, but god I'd love it to see a black pope emerge, just to see the White Power writhes and scream.
Those white power redneck types are all protestants (baptists, or some other evangelical wingnut strain) and most of them have a vehement anti-Catholic streak. A black pope would just confirm to them whatever-the-hell conspiracy shit they already believe about the Catholic church, so it'd more or less just be spitting on a forest fire anyways.
Not that the Vatican shouldn't do it anyway, though.
I'd say most of them are protestants, but there's been a trend of a certain type of far-right "RETVRN TO TRADITION" wingnuts converting and becoming hardline tradcaths in the last decade or so. Those people absolutely would seethe over a black pope.
I loved the twist ending in Conclave.
