First American Pope! Second Jesuite Pope - Charles Fout - 05-08-2025
May he be guided by the Holy Spirit.

There's a really charming movie from the '80s called Saving Grace starring Tom Conti as a young, newly installed Pope who sends the Vatican into an uproar by going off on walkabout without telling them where he is. In the movie his regnal name was Leo XIV, so I guess I'll have to stop thinking they're talking about the movie.
(I also wonder whether the real world Leo XIV remembers that movie and thought, "Ha, why not?")

Correction: Pope Leo XIV is of the sAugustinian order.
All these years I erroneously thought Villanova was a Jesuit school.
Still praying he is guided by the Holy Spirit.
