“Woke” Pope Leo XIV slammed by MAGA supporters

balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica to the roar of thousands of people gathered in St Peter’s Square.

He took the name Leo XIV, meaning 13 popes before him have chosen.

Speaking to CBS, Dennis Doyle, a theologian and professor emeritus of religious studies at the University of Dayton, explained

that a pope’s name indicates “a certain spirit and direction and vision of the new pope.”

“The first thing that you would look for would be, which popes had that name before?” he said. “That would signify something

about the direction that the pope wants to take.”
