The Motion lodged in the Scottish Parliament last week to celebrate the election of the Holy Father by Paul O'Kane MSP

The Motion lodged in the Scottish Parliament last week to celebrate the election of the Holy Father by Paul O'Kane MSP.
That the Parliament welcomes the election of Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost as Pope on the second day of the Papal Conclave, following the death of the late Pope Francis; notes that he has chosen the name, Pope Leo XIV; further notes his extensive time as a missionary in Peru, his role as Bishop of Chiclayo, and his leadership in the Church as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops and President of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America; acknowledges that he was born in Chicago, thus becoming the first Pope from the United States of America, but that he also has international connections with his parents being of Spanish and Franco-Italian descent, and him speaking multiple languages, including Spanish, Italian and French; celebrates with the Catholic community in Scotland and around the world upon the election of the new Holy Father; wishes him well in his Pontificate, and acknowledges his first words as Pope from the balcony of St Peter's Basilica regarding "building bridges, dialogue, always open to receiving with open arms for everyone, like this square, open to all, to all who need our charity, our presence, dialogue, love.”
