The papal conclave is over and a new pontiff has officially been announced: Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, now known as Pope Leo XIV.
The 69-year-old is the first-ever pope hailing from the US, having been born in Chicago, Illinois. And as you can imagine, the internet wasted no time in commenting on the moment, with reactions that verged from humorous to plain dumb – especially when it came to the MAGA crowd, who weren’t best pleased that the new pope didn’t speak in English for his first speech.
