GTFO, no one fetishized abortion. Your hyperbole is disgusting.

The mobile abortion clinic outside of the DNC was a nice touch.

He spent 20 years in Peru and that's where he became a bishop (instead of in the US). He then went to the Vatican where he was placed in powerful positions in the Curia.

Read Leo XIII's wikipedia to understand what this guy believes (hint: more helping the poor, less lavishing praise on US CEOs): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Leo_XIII

This guy is a rebuke of MAGA and only an American could do it. It's an interesting moment in time.

Peruvians are white.

He's not Peruvian, he's from Chicago and became a naturalized citizen of Peru after working and living there for 2 decades.

You gotta be kidding.

They were there to provide all kinds of medical care, not simply abortions. But I know that does not feed into your fantasy

I am hardly a MAGA but all this does is cement the US further as a global leader? What are you even talking about?

Too early to tell, but if he takes any of the core humanitarian stances of his predecessor, a showdown looms with Trump and U.S. foreign policy.

Tend to agree with this. It's not about the US losing power, it's about taming that (current) power with humane values.

Agree. The US is still the most powerful country in the world. We're just reeling from very poor leadership since Obama left office. Leadership matters.

That makes him both a Peruvian and an American.

Most kids don't like the discipline of adults. You will be an adult one day and you will understand.

Exactly. The US power up or down vote is an odd take.

I've never heard Argentinians call themselves Americans, have you?

Yes. Latin America very much identifies as American. If you'd ever spoken in Spanish to Latin Americans, you'd have heard about it.
