Indeed, I already saw people saying he's like Francis for those that only saw negative aspects on Francis which I agree on many things especially in regards to his opinions on vaccines. Then on the other side one person told yesterday "he's a republican". Me personally I was very happy with his pronouncement ending it with a prayer in Latin.

Fascinating to see how early reactions often reveal more about our hopes and fears than about the person elected. León XIV’s path will likely challenge both ends of the spectrum.
