Habemus Papam! We have a Pope. An American no less, something I did not expect, who has taken the name Leo XIV.
His background will be analyzed to death in the coming weeks, likely enough by yours truly on these very pages. But for now, I'm going to tell a funny. Don't worry. It's not even PG. And, credit where it's due, it isn't actually my joke.
My number two son is Francis Leo. Upon the announcement of the new Pontiff I texted him, "You might notice the last two Popes have been Francis and Leo."
His response? "Minds will be blown when the next one is Pope Cosgriff!"
Wouldn't they now!
