Notre Dame H.S. Students react to new Pope election
ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) — Pope Leo XIV has been elected as the first Cardinal from the United States to be Pope of the Catholic Church. Students at Notre Dame High School who spoke with 18 News expressed excitement and felt surprised by the succession of the Pope on Thursday, May 8. Other reactions included them saying how fortunate they were to be around to see the selection and touching on the unexpected nature of it. Appleridge Senior Living hosts 3rd annual fashion show 'It's really unbelievable. No one thought that he would become Pope. A lot of people were rooting for like the Italian candidates, German candidates, but no one suspected the American candidate, especially with how things have been going on in the country,' Joseph Tremblay said. 'A lot of people suspected he would not get picked, but here we are, he's been picked, and it's definitely a historical moment.' 'I think it's very cool. There hasn't been an American Pope ever. So, I think it's very cool that we're alive at this point in time, and it's just kind of an honor,' added Payton Sutryk. Senior, Shannon Craig, said it was great seeing someone from the United States be elected and how quickly the process came after the passing of Pope Francis. 'It's definitely something life-changing for multiple people in the world. You have a Pope who unfortunately passed away, and then, once the Conclave started, two days later, we are given a new Pope. It's an extremely fast turnaround for a conclave, but I think it's definitely going to make some positive impacts and positive changes in our world as we see it,' said Craig.

Pastor Scott Kubinsky of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Elmira, mentioned Pope Francis' previous appointment of the now Pope Leo as a Cardinal, speculating that Francis may have seen him as a future successor. He suggested how Pope Leo may continue Francis' focus on helping the less fortunate. 'In his opening remarks when he came out on the balcony, he said more than once, he said, 'God loves everyone' and as humans, I'm not sure we always believe that, but it is the truth, I really believe that,' Scott said.

Norfolk Catholic schoolchildren on their hopes for the next pope
New pope should 'carry on legacy of Francis' 6 minutes ago Share Save Amelia Reynolds BBC News, Norfolk Reporting from Norwich Mariam Issimdar BBC News, Norfolk Share Save Shaun Whitmore/BBC Pupils at Norwich's Catholic high school talk about their hopes for a new pope The election of a new pope has begun following the death of Pope Francis last month. The secret conclave of 131 Catholic cardinals are locked in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican City until a new pontiff is chosen. Pupils from Notre Dame High School in Norwich shared their hopes and aspirations for the next leader of the world's largest Christian church. Shaun Whitmore/BBC Luis has decided who he wants to be the next pontiff Luis said his faith and belief in God was important to his understanding of life. "I'm quite excited to see who the new pope is going to be," he said. "Personally I have my favourite - Louis Antonio Tagle - because he has a little sense of humility in him. "Pope Francis obviously had the same [humility]. He was very kind to people - the poor people." Who will be the next pope? Key candidates Who will choose the next pope? How the next pope is chosen Shaun Whitmore/BBC Victoria says Pope Francis connected with ordinary people Victoria hoped the new pontiff would continue Pope Francis's legacy. "I don't think erasing that would do any good for the Catholic Church because we're not very well liked between [among some] minorities and gay people," she said. "And I think what he [Pope Francis] did, in helping us is gain time with different people. "He really connected with ordinary people, not just cardinals and priests. He heard what we needed to say." The Pope increased the role of women in the church, but stopped short of allowing them to become clergy. Victoria however, differed on this men-only stance. "We deserve main roles too, it's not just men." Shaun Whitmore/BBC Alfie wants the new Holy Father to continue in the vein of Pope Francis Fellow pupil Alfie praised the late Pope for taking on concerns about the environment, the impact of climate change on the planet, as well as his concern about the poor. "I think the new pope should really take that into account and be able to speak on those topics," he said. "And also being able to progress the church while also aligning with the tradition of the church." Shaun Whitmore/BBC Persy's faith means she trusts the conclave will make the "right choice" Persy was excited about the election of the new head of her church and said it was an "incredibly important decision". "The pope can change a lot of people's lives," she said. "But because of the way the conclave is, it's from the Holy Spirit, and so I think we can trust the right choice will be made." She said the selection of a new pontiff was "absolutely" a special time for Catholics. At the Catholic state school, pupils held a minute's silence and prayed for the "right choice" to be made by the conclave, Percy said. "The pope is such an important part of being Catholic, of being Christian - he's in charge," she said. She would like to see the next Holy Father "carry on all things that Pope Francis did". EPA-EFE/2025 REX/Shutterstock Cardinals attended a special mass before the start of the conclave in the city state in Rome The first vote expected to take place early on Wednesday evening, and the world will be informed of the cardinals' choice by coloured smoke issuing from a chimney in the chapel. Black smoke indicates a new man has not been chosen, while white smoke means one has been selected. About 1.4 billion people across the world identify as Roman Catholic.
