1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: When smoke went up in about a little bit after 2 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: for this morning, our time Catholic Church had elected a 3 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,559 Speaker 1: new pope, his Leo. 4 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 2: I should also like to thank. 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 3: All my. 6 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 2: Cardinal brethren who have chosen me to be the successor 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: of Peter and to walk with you as a united church, 8 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 2: always seeking peace and justice, seeking to work with men 9 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: and women who are faithful to Jesus Christ without fear, 10 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,480 Speaker 2: to proclaim the Gospel, to be missionaries. 11 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: So they like that. The bloken he is American, of course, 12 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: the bloke the other American who thought he could be 13 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 1: pope there for a while. He's pretty stoked. 14 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: From the United States, America. 15 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: Great day, Great day for America. Joemic in his back 16 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: from Vatican City. Morning Joe, good morning. Make I mean 17 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: that's not your first rodeo. When the smoke came out, 18 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: What was the vibe? What was the buzz? 19 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 3: Oh? I have to say, it was absolutely exciting and 20 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 3: riveting and spectacular at the same time. There were huge 21 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 3: cheers in the crowd. The bells that Saint Peter's started ringing. 22 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 3: People started running from across the city, and it was 23 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 3: an incredible atmosphere. People from all over the world, lots 24 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 3: of different flags. I saw Brazilian flags, Australian flags, German flags. 25 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 3: It was just an incredible atmosphere because we knew that 26 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 3: there was a pope, but we didn't know who he was. 27 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 3: We had to wait an hour for him to step 28 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 3: out onto the balcony. 29 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: Exactly the fact they got there in three That could 30 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: have been worse. With your sleeping bag, you could have 31 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: been there for days, but it wasn't too bad. 32 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 3: Yes, I think that's a surprise in some ways that 33 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 3: this is a candidate, this new Pope, Leo the fourteenth, 34 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 3: is a candidate that appealed to both the progressives and 35 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 3: the conservatives, and from what I'm reading, he seems to 36 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 3: have drawn the Latin Americans on side because he spent 37 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 3: so much time as a missionary in Peru, and that 38 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 3: block of voters I think really made a difference. Also, 39 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 3: of course, he's an English speaker. Many of these cardinals 40 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 3: from Africa and other parts of the world don't feel 41 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 3: that comfortable in Italian. I think he was probably able 42 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 3: to communicate to them and that probably made a difference 43 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 3: as well. So it looks like from his message on 44 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 3: the balcony today, he's really talking about peace and maintaining 45 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 3: that message of Pope Francis reaching out to all corners 46 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 3: of the earth and trying to include create this inclusive church. 47 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 3: But at the same time he did say a prayer 48 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 3: in Latin. I think that also sends a message to 49 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 3: the conservatives. And it was interesting to see what he 50 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 3: was wearing. He was looking very elegant in very traditional robes, 51 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 3: and I think that's all sending a message that this 52 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 3: pope might look a little bit different to Pope Francis. 53 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: As regards that balcony, does he have a little Jennet 54 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: saquire about him or not? 55 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 3: Look? I thought he looked very emotional on the balcony tonight. 56 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 3: We could see his eyes and he was sniffling a 57 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 3: little bit. I don't know if that was analogy. There's 58 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 3: a bit of analogy around Rome at the moment. 59 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: No. 60 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 3: I think he looked quite emotional on the balcony and 61 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 3: really nervous about facing the world for the first time. 62 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: Not surprised, and at sixty nine, you'd back him for 63 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: a long haul, wouldn't you. 64 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 3: That's right, And I think it's also significant that they've 65 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: chosen someone who is perhaps going to galvanize American Catholics 66 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 3: in particular, who've seen the impact of those sex abuse scandals. 67 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 3: In fact, one of the clerical abuse defense groups today 68 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 3: put out a statement saying he's unacceptable because he failed 69 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 3: to take action in Chicago against allegations against a priest there. 70 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 3: So we might hear more about that in the coming days. 71 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: I suspect we will Joe go well, but after nine 72 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: in Betican City in the Simpeter Squeers Joe mckinnat. 73 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast. 74 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: Listen live to News Talk SETB from six am weekdays, 75 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: or follow the podcast on iHeartRadio
