Robert Francis Prevost’s election as the new Pope – now known as Pope Leo 14, mobilized not only the religious world, but also various personalities of music, cinema and television. At age 69, the former American cardeal was chosen as successor to Pope Francis and generated a wave of emotional demonstrations on social networks.
As soon as the white smoke announced the new leader of the Catholic Church, famous Brazilians celebrated the historic moment. Among singers, actors and religious, the watchword was hope and desire to continue the progressive legacy of Francis.
One of the first to pronounce was singer Daniela Mercury. In an emotional text, she stated: “White smoke fills me with hope that the Catholic Church has chosen a cardinal who follows with Pope Francis’ progressive thinking. Reforms are important to the faithful around the world, especially LGBTQia+. Having our respectful and welcomed love is more than a warm heart, it is saving lives.
The singer Thiaguinho also followed every detail of the conclave and shared his emotion with the followers: “Seeing the story happens live … What an amazing moment! Another successor of Peter chosen. Pope Leo XIV, who was Pope Francis’ friend and walking partner, now has the mission of carrying the message of love and fraternity that the world needs so much.”
The actress Ingrid Guimarães reinforced the historical importance of the choice. In his social networks, he wrote: “May Pope Leo XIV follow the steps of kindness, compassion, and proximity left by Francis. May this new pontificate be guided by dialogue, listening, and hosting differences. It is a new chapter for the church and the world.”
Among the religious, Father Marcelo Rossi also shared his joy. During the coverage of the conclave on his networks, the priest celebrated the ad with a message of faith: “Beloved, Pope Leo XIV: ‘Let’s build bridges.’ Welcome, Pope Leo XIV!” The phrase echoed the speech of the new pontiff, which promised union and dialogue in its first speech to the public.
The actress and former deputy Myrian Rios celebrated doubly: “She called the first Augustinian pope! Pope Leo XIV. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, the first American Pope! Habemus Papam! Praise God! May the Holy Spirit lead our church always!”
Other names, such as singer Lexa, also expressed her emotion. “What an emotion! As a Catholic, my heart is very happy! It is a very light age for the church and for all of us,” wrote the artist on Instagram.
The election of Leo 14, seen as a historic milestone for being the first Augustinian and American Pope, is already beginning to awaken new expectations among faithful and admirers.
