Yeah, he’s an American but only lived in America for 1/3 of his life. He has spent much time in Italy, very close to the workings of the Vatican. |
Anyone know about him? I also hope that he will carry on Pope Francis's legacy! |
Do we think this is a covert message to the US? |
He was very close with Pope Francis. |
What does he think about Palestine? Because that is always supposed to be at the forefront of any discussion right? That is what they tell us. |
Wow I can't believe it. I thought Americans were unelectable?! |
Not surprising. But is there *any* cardinal that actually handled the rape and abuse of children in a respectable and responsible way? |
Who is they? |
It’s very interesting to have an American pope in a time when America is frankly tanking in the eyes of the world. I wonder if the conclave felt an American Pope could better influence American political leaders on things like restoring humanitarian efforts, refugee and immigrant treatment, etc. Not to make it all about us, but it’s just surprising to see an American chosen |
Really. This really moves me to tears. Thank you so much. |
To be fair, he has lived in each Peru and Italy as long as he lived in America. Many do not consider him an “American” because of that. |
