Of course, having an American Pope is going to be extremely controversial for the Catholic Church, because of who the current President of the United States is (although Leo XIV was critical of Trump and his ilk on some issues, notably immigration, before becoming Pope), as well as because of U.S. foreign policy being controversial to varying degrees in much of the world and the fact that, in a rigid two-party system, neither of the major U.S. political parties come close to lining up with Catholic teachings.
Biden was on The View today. When Ana Navarro mentioned that last week was Trump's first 100 days back in office, she and Joe did the sign of the cross at the same time. Well timed and hilarious.

Joseph was, in my humble opinion, a great President and devout Catholic.
Joe Biden is a better Catholic than the sorry excuse of a Vice President right now.
JD is a Christianist. That’s got nothing more to do with Christian than Islamist does with Muslim.

silence spoke a million words!!
Yep.
And I'd have much more respect for his conversion to Catholicism if he hadn't done so with cameras rolling.
I’d have a modicum of respect for his conversion to Catholicism if his “leadership” had not proved so antithetical to basic Christian tenets.
The Beastie Boys are better Catholics than JD Vance is.
fortunately, hopefully, the current potus will be gone long before Leo XIV
Since Leo is only 69 he could be around for a while
He seemed quite energetic and kind of youthful giving his speech today.
Very likely so.
