Owing to the wild success of The Tablet podcast that I record with Ruth Gledhill (what do you mean you haven’t seen it?) I had been interviewed on Sky News occasionally during the conclave, a sort of tattooed, less balanced Austen Ivereigh. His first official appointment was a woman, Sr Tiziana Merletti, as secretary at the Dicastery for Religious, which made me sit up because her congregation’s habit does not include a veil.

After burying Pope Francis, the cardinals chose another pope from the Americas to follow in his path, proving both that the “change of era” inaugurated by Francis is here to stay and that Latin America would still be a key source for the universal Church. Leo XIV is from the south suburbs of Chicago, “the descendant of immigrants, who in turn chose to emigrate,” as he put it to the Holy See ambassadors on May 16. He was referring to the decades he spent as a missionary and bishop in Peru.

“È evidente che c’è uno sforzo dei cattolici conservatori americani, tutti pro-Trump, di condizionare il conclave. Sia mediante siti appositi in cui si fa il profilo dei cardinali, sia diffondendo video e interviste in cui si insinua il dubbio che le personalità coincidano con singoli episodi, come è stato per Tagle. Ma la Chiesa è preparata, ha anticorpi adeguati”.
