James Martin, SJ @jamesmartinsj.bsky.social · 08/05/2025I know Pope Leo XIV to be a kind, open, humble, modest, decisive, hard-working, straightforward, trustworthy, and down-to-earth man. A brilliant choice. May God bless him. 804642600
jasperhermes.bsky.social @jasperhermes.bsky.social · 09/05/2025Follow James - he has all the dope on the Pope, and the skinny on Vatican City! 🇻🇦 We want ALL the dirt, James. Do tell! 000

jamiechesbro.bsky.social @jamiechesbro.bsky.social · 08/05/2025I enjoyed your commentary and reaction on ABC today, Fr. Jim. “We have to be a church that works together to build bridges and to keep our arms open like this very piazza—welcoming.” Pope Leo XIV 0390
Darth Corvusss @darthcorvus.bsky.social · 08/05/2025Can you comment on the fact that he, alongside every other pope in history, has allowed child sexual assault to flourish, all while turning a blind eye to it and protecting some of the offenders? I'm legitimately asking. I would appreciate an answer. 100
Marshall Julie @mhjulie.bsky.social · 09/05/2025Would you please urge your broadcaster friends to remember that Pope Francis was the first American pontiff. Thx 011
jestpier.bsky.social @jestpier.bsky.social · 08/05/2025Fingers crossed. And I am absolutely shocked they elected an American as pope. Wow. 000

Election_Every @electionevery.bsky.social · 09/05/2025How can people be opposed to living the Beatitudes and call themselves Christian? I think Pope Leo shines a light upon the most basic moral questions. First, love thy neighbor. 010

jlwmid.bsky.social @jlwmid.bsky.social · 08/05/2025As someone who grew up with all those European popes, I was surprised at how emotional it made me to read about a US born Pope following a South American pope. 0151
Old Janie @oldjanie.bsky.social · 08/05/2025I would love to hear from you about the Augustinian Order now. We've all learned so much about the Jesuits from you! 050

Reclamation @cinnamonalice.bsky.social · 09/05/2025Is that you on his left? All of you look somewhat alike, but I am glad that someone like Pope Francis was chosen instead of another conservative. 000
Peregrinamom (La Jefa now) @peregrinamom-sandy.bsky.social · 09/05/2025The kindness shows in his face. May God bless him and inspire him to lead us to be more compassionate and build bridges with our fellow brothers and sisters. 060

DE Riley @deriley.bsky.social · 09/05/2025My husband and I are Protestants and are also pleased by this choice. He seems like a real man of God. We pray that he be blessed and protected as he does the Lord's work here on earth. 030
Hyperlexic @hyperlexic.bsky.social · 09/05/2025I am not a Catholic, but he seems (like Francis) to be a very good man. And your good opinion of him is very impactful to me. 020

Walter, cat. @walterthepandacat.bsky.social · 08/05/2025I see this selection as a response to a global crisis: the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. I hope Pope Leo XIV doesn’t hold back. May God bless him—and help guide all of us out of the mess we’ve made of our country and for all those we've negatively affected across the globe. 0431

Dr. Existential Burn @thisispsittacus.bsky.social · 08/05/2025Oh thank goodness. I was worried when the crowd was pretty quiet when he was first announced. 000
Koda (is mad at the government) @kodaismad.bsky.social · 09/05/2025Many of us have concerns for his stance on some of the most marginalized and vulnerable groups. He may stand with immigrants, but his past shows he does not stand with LGBT+ people. Nor with women. Children who were victims of abusive priests don't seem to find any solace in his actions either. 070
arkbuja.bsky.social @arkbuja.bsky.social · 08/05/2025I am excited for this and offer prayers for him. 020

Babeaware @babeawear.bsky.social · 08/05/2025May God bless him. As he came out with all the people in the square, it looked at one point he got a little emotional…I do feel his heart in that moment…I will pray for him everyday…❤️🔥💮 010

CharleyNobody @charleynobody.bsky.social · 08/05/2025But he still won’t agree that women deserve the right to procreate (or not) at their own will. Or that women can be religious leaders at the same level as men. Jesus never said women had to give birth to their rapist’s baby. 010
