Leo only took 4 rounds...
Glad it didn't get past round 7, not sure how well a UDFA Pope would do

Not surprising since the Catholic Church is basically a political structure just as much as a religious one. Just my opinion of course but when have that much power and influence it's man's nature to become political and maintain or grow that influence and power.

So close to having a match here… the Cardinals drafted Leonard Pope in the third round. And the cardinals picked Pope Leo in the fourth round.

Nuh-uh. Celibacy really only hit the mainstream in the eleventh century. For more details, see WIkipedia.Well they weren't supposed to.They are nowadays. Pope Alexander VI had at least six, including Lucrezia Borgia.
I despise the practice, but all Catholic clergy are supposed to be celibate since like the 4th century.
Celibacy is really for monks, not priests.

Pretty cool stuff to have a pope born in America honestly. I'm not Catholic nor Christian, but hopefully the new pope can be a positive moral leader for humanity.

Feel kinda sorry for that brother. When around the family dinner table:
Mom: So your brother became Pope. What have you done with your life?

Found this an interesting - Cardinal Dolan of NY on the selection of Pope Leo XIV.
There's not political content here in it and I think @Joe Bryant would be interested as it gets to how things go about in the selection process

The Associated Press was recording an interview with the Pope's brother, when he realized he had two hours of missed calls from the Pope, so he calls him back on camera

made it to the square today and we saw Leo from a non traditional sunday spot, the loggia above the main entrance to st. peter’s. the sunday angelus is usually at 12p, but he was a minute early. our group loudly joked that you know the new pope is american and not italian cause he was actually on time and not 30 minutes late. must’ve been 200,000 people. the square can hold up to 300,000. they have big screen tvs on the square corners for better viewing. subway was crazy crowded and they had massive security, including metal detectors and bag checks. my 3rd time seeing a pope and it really is a special experience.

I'm guessing politics aren't allowed here, but I think I have a really good, apolitical article about Pope Leo XIV. Why is it apolitical? Because apparently politics are not Leo XIV's concern. This author claims to know him and says that he is Augustinian in nature, which I really like. St. Augustine is a bedrock figure in Catholicism.
"Pope Leo has named himself a 'bridge.' This is no idle metaphor. Pontifex Maximus (literally the 'supreme bridge-builder') is his title, but Leo means to embody it. Like Augustine before him, he seeks to span the chasms within the Church: between the traditional and the progressive, the zealous and the hesitant, the doctrinally minded and the pastorally driven. A moderate and temperate soul, he will not flatten difference but order it to service; inviting all to the same table, and calling all to be accountable in love."

As an Augustinian, the new pope embodies the synthesis of tradition and pastoral closeness taught by St. Augustine.

That's a good article.
The concept of Unity is fascinating.
Obviously, it sounds great. Unity feels way better than division. But it can be a challenge on how it practically works.
I have seen cases where a push for unity can be a passive way of squashing dissent.
It can become a thing of having a goal of everyone being unified on something and that means the few people with an alternate opinion need to "get in line". That, of course, is not always the case, but it can be a thing. It's an interesting and complicated subject sometimes.
