I am especially excited that Prevost was raised in Chicago, which means I can no longer imitate the pope using an Italian accent. From now on, the pope is going to sound like this: ‘Hey there, it’s your buddy Leo. The deep dish Papa. Just talked to God, and not even he can help the White Sox, sorry. First order of business, I’ll be canonizing Michael Jordan. Now, let’s end by saying daaaaaaa prayers.’ —Stephen Colbert
The Vatican’s got that new pope smell! Robert Francis Prevost will become the first American pope. The thing about becoming pope is that you also have to leave your old name behind, which works out great for him, because I’m pretty sure Prevost is also the name of a weight loss medication. Prevost chose the name Pope Leo XIV, in honor of Leonardo of Caprio. —Stephen Colbert
And Colbert was most excited about the fact that Prevost once criticized JD Vance, the vice-president, on Twitter, posting: “JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others.” Holy Father, you had me at JD Vance is wrong. —Stephen Colbert
