When I took up blogging, I didn't realize that as a blogger, I'm supposed to have an opinion about absolutely everything, particularly things about which I'm almost completely ignorant.
Hey, I don't make the rules, man.
With that in mind, here's my take on some dude I'd never heard of until today.
My Take
He's almost got to be better than Francis, just from pure probability. I mean, Francis was three standard deviations below the mean when it came to quality popery, so it would be pretty tough for this guy to be that big of an airhead.
My biggest problem with Francis was that he was incoherent. His incoherence came from what appeared to be an inability to reason beyond what was needed to sustain life. Every proclamation caused more confusion than the last and none of his statements were ever explained in detail. Instead, they were cleaned up by his PR team and he moved on to the next vapid pronouncement.
That's a tough act to follow or maybe an easy one, depending on how you see things.
As I understand it, this guy is reasonably orthodox about sexual ethics and he still wants to do the synodal stuff. As I attended a coordination meeting for the Diocese of San Diego's next round of synodousness, I have more to say about the synodality of synodal synods, but that can wait for a different ignorant rant. Suffice it to say that the laity can probably manage to salvage something worthwhile out of the synodal process if they keep their wits about them.
Conservatives have seen the new Pope's criticisms of JD Vance on the topic of illegal alien invasions of the US, but they're pretty mundane. The new pope is another crazy cat lady. However, given that he is young, if he is relatively alert and healthy, he will live long enough to learn the consequences of his idiot notions about open borders.

And if the limeys don't get down to business, someone else certainly will. These Muslim invasions only end one way.
Maybe we should start a pool on which Euro country will fall into widespread unrest and violence first.
Anywho, Pope Leo XIV seems like an alright fella to me. At least until he does something that gets misinterpreted by the press that causes us trad Catholics to lose our minds in outrage. After that, he'll just be one more dufus.

The Talking Collar in the video lost my viewership when he insisted on saying "Pe'lru", rather than a straightforward "Peru" like the American that he is would say the name of that country.
I got a little farther. But when he couldn't pronounce Villanova, I was done
MN: You piqued my curiosity -- "VEE-la-nova" is not how an American would say it.
Being an American, and speaking English, when I refer to the capital of Germany, I do not say "Beh-LEEN", as I would when speaking German (I mean, to the limited extent that I can still speak any German).
