I would say we're par for the course in terms of outcomes. All of the top contenders including the known outsiders like Prevost were considered to be acceptable.

Sounds like he made clear that he will continue where Francis left off

There has never been a pope from the United States, and the conventional wisdom remains that any American would be a long shot.

Yet one American who some Vatican watchers say could scrape together enough votes is Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, 69, a Chicago-born polyglot who is viewed as a churchman who transcends borders. He served for two decades in Peru, where he became a bishop and a naturalized citizen. He then rose to lead his international religious order. Until the death of Pope Francis, he held one of the most influential Vatican posts, running the office that selects and manages bishops globally.

The cardinal, who is a member of the Order of St. Augustine, resembles Francis in his commitment to the poor and migrants. Often described as reserved and discreet, Cardinal Prevost would depart stylistically from Francis. His supporters say he would most likely continue the consultative process started by Francis to invite lay people to meet with bishops.

It is unclear whether he would be as open to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Catholics as Francis was. Although he has not said much recently, in a 2012 address to bishops, he lamented that Western news media and popular culture fostered sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the Gospel. He cited the homosexual lifestyle and alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children.

The cardinal, like many others, has drawn criticism over his dealings with priests accused of sexual abuse. Attempts to reach the cardinal were not successful.

So if he's anti-queer, anti-women, and pro-sexual assault of children, what is progressive about him exactly? He sounds conservative.

The truth is no one would be anywhere near the previous pope in terms in being open minded or as liberal

he was an outlier

most people in the Catholic Church are like this man

It's the same term, just from Greek instead of Latin

He is supportive of immigrants and the poor. Opposes environmental damage, accepts the science on climate change.

It's funny how 'support for the poor' would be considered progressive when it should be one of the tenants of their religion in the first place.

That's the label outside observers put on it.

It's a matter of emphasis. The previous Leo was most known for his support for the poor and working class. Prevost deliberately chose the name to indicate what his own focus would be.

Tbh I think a big part of the Cardinals' decision was the notion that an American Pope would bring Catholicism back to the US since there's been record numbers of people leaving the church

You need to look at it from a comparative point of view. Was Francis pro-LGBT compared to say me who's best friend is a trans lady? Fuck no. Was Francis pro-LGBT compared to most Cardinals of the Catholic Church? Holy shit yes.

Here's a wikipedia article about Pope Francis as his history with LGBTQ topics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis_and_LGBTQ_topics

Again, not exactly brilliant but fantastic comparatively. It's not exactly a high bar.

catholic church decisions are generally based on what the bare minimum of social progress they think they have to make to stay relevant based on their observance of where the trends are going; conservative enough they don't have to actually make much progress but progressive enough that they don't seem outright regressive. that they picked someone whos views are similar to the last one but slightly more explicit in being anti-MAGA/pro-immigrant is an overall win considering many were predicting a MAGApope

Sounds like he's at least minimally compassionate, which is something the world needs when other world leaders are openly spiteful.

Solid Pope moment that makes me happy

I think you are also missing that they need to keep the conservative base that makes up a lot of their donations happy. If they get too progressive too fast those guys leave and take their money with them.
