I'm not easily stunned, but this time I am. He wasn't even on my radar. And he is an American. I know almost nothing about him. Two slightly encouraging signs.... he came out dressed like a newly elected pope (unlike his predecessor). And his papal name is a good one. Leo XIII was a great champion of the poor and working class, but also doctrinally (small 'o') orthodox.

I also regard his choice of regnal name as a good sign. Like yourself, I know little about him and was very surprised. I trust in God and hope for the best.
Axios!
