Catholics in Raleigh celebrate and share ties to new Pope Leo XIV: ‘Beautiful’
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — Father Noe Ramirez from Raleigh, who is studying in Rome, got a front row seat to the history – first the death of Pope Francis, the Conclave, and finally seeing Pope Leo XIV become the next pope.
“It was just a whole bunch of excitement, a whole bunch of joy, Viva el Papa,” Ramirez told ABC11.
He and fellow priests from Raleigh watched in person as the smoke came from the Vatican.
