I’m a lapsed catholic. I look forward to seeing how the new Pope chooses to use his position. I saw Francis as a decent, respectable man, and especially took heart in his and the church’s recent rational missive on AI.
Leo XIV has to rise to one of the greatest organisational challenges anyone could face in the current day; managing this Leviathan institution through a minefield that’s ever shifting, the consequences for gaffes and misspokenness are very real and enormous.
Considering Pope Bob I's the only pope with a very active online history, I wouldn't call him "quiet". Especially with him being an anti-MAGA critic of the current US regime, as his post and comment history on X shows.

> ”Bob, this could be proposed to you”
That’s incredible. The new pope is called Bob. I will only refer to him as Pope Bob I.
Bob's twitter account is still online. Used sparingly and mostly for retweets, but used:
"Catholic, Augustinian, Bishop"
Currently in Rome.

And the official Vatican account, @Pontifex, went back to being attributed to Francis, after briefly being named "Apostolica Sedes Vacans".
I suppose it makes more sense than the total mess that is @eucopresident, where past tweets are retroactively attributed to the current officeholder.
Most importantly, title is in Spanish!
Just like that, Bob's your uncle and Holy father.
