Pope Leo

While I was in the middle of my last day of teaching the fabulous ladies in Wilmington my wrist started buzzing and my phone was blowing up. A new Pope had been elected…An American!

My Dickinson Book club group was weighing in. Rose, the catholic among us reported that newly renamed Pope Leo had gone to Villanova in Philly, where her boy friend is a professor. I was getting insights from one’s who know.

It is quite exciting to be alive when the first American Pope was elected. Especially since it happened fairly quickly in terms of Vatican voting. The reports that I got from the insiders is he is a social justice guy. Feels good to me to help right some of the social disorder coming from this part of the world.

I feel like perhaps it is a divine hand of God saying, “Hold on now.” This gives this old Presbyterian great hope. God bless Pope Leo.
