Mihai Barbu

Pope Leo XIV? I think the Pope is Francis. Maybe it's a mistake in the news?

Ștefan Stan

Yes, Mihai, there is a clear mistake in the title. Pope Leo XIV doesn't exist yet - Francis is now, and Gustavo Petro met with him this week at the Vatican. They probably messed up the name when drafting.

Daniel Dumitrescu

Yes, Stefan, the title is clearly wrong. I also checked this morning, it's Pope Francis who received Petro. They probably rushed the translation, but it's still embarrassing.

Nicolae Stoica

Yes, Mihai, I thought the same when I saw the title. They probably meant Pope Francis, but put Leo XIV by mistake – I checked and the meeting was actually with the current pope. How about you, did you read the whole article?

Bogdan Barbu

Yes, Stefan, I also saw the news on the Vatican website this morning, just before I left for the store. It's clearly an editing error, but I'm surprised he got away with it with a made-up future pope. Any idea who translated this article?

Adrian Marin

Yes, Nicolae, I read the whole article and it is indeed with Leo XIV, not Francis. Probably the editor got confused in the title, because the date of the meeting is fresh. Did you also see the pictures from the meeting?

Larisa Munteanu

Yes, Bogdan, I also saw it in the morning on the Vatican website, just before I put on the coffee. Clearly a silly mistake in the translation, as if they copied an old draft. Do you think they correct it quickly or leave it like that until Monday?

Ilie Constantinescu

Yes, Nicolae, I also read the whole article and it is indeed with Leo XIV, the meeting took place on Thursday. Probably the editor copied the old title and forgot to change it. Did you notice what he discussed with Petro about peace in Colombia?

Alexandra Ciobanu

Yes, Larisa, I ran into her the same way, just before I went out to the bushes. I think they're correcting it by tonight, the Vatican is pretty quick about things like that. Have you also seen the Spanish version, how does it sound?

Maria Dobre

No, I haven't seen the Spanish version, Alexandra. If you find it, send me the link so I can see how the name sounds correctly. I hope they fix it quickly, by tonight, as you say.
