The journalist analyzed the decision during live participation in “Jornal Hoje”
Ilze Sigarini, correspondent of the TV Globo in Italy, with a long experience in the Covering of the Vatican, admitted that he did not expect that Robert Francis Prevost of the 69 -year -old US from the new Pope Leo XIV was chosen, announced on Thursday 8.
During his live participation in “Jornal Hoje”, the journalist commented on the decision: “I was very surprised. Although it was already one of the favorites, it belonged to a second line of candidates. I think the main word he said in this speech was synodal. He said that, so he will really continue the government of Francisco,” he said.
Ilze also observed that the initial message of the new Pope was broad and focused on thanks, in contrast with more speeches directed by his predecessors. “But then he, the Pope also turned to the faithful and certainly won their sympathy and the whole city,” he added.
The journalist also praised the fluidity of the pontiff in Italian. “It was a great surprise, because these favorites of the second line cannot always overcome this second line. What we must understand now is the reason why an American for the first time in history, although this is less American among the Americans,” he said.
He underlined that, due to the death of the government of Francisco and the government of the United States, the election of an American Pope was less early. “But perhaps it can help reduce this distance between the thought of the Holy See, the Italian government itself and the government of the United States. I think it can also be a great tool for this,” he said.
The journalist believes that Leo XIV will make a big pontificate. “Since Francisco’s continuity proposes, it is also very open in relation to the gay communities. And all that was a reason for the reform for Francisco with so much sacrifice and with so many criticisms and even convictions,” he added.
The journalist also stressed that the new Pope did not attend Francisco’s desire. “A desire for Pope Francis who has not satisfied, because Pope Francis has referred twice to his successor like John XXIV, he preferred Lion XIV, let’s see what he will do,” he concluded.
