President Donald Trump reacted to the selection of the new pope and leader of the Catholic Church on Thursday.

Hints as to what postures Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost, might take on some of the most controversial issues roiling the U.S. may come from his recent activity on social media​.
