[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it turns out that we got our first black pope.

Robert Francis Prevost, the Chicago-born cardinal selected on Thursday as the new pope, is descended from Creole people of color from New Orleans.

The pope’s maternal grandparents, both of whom are described as Black or “mulatto” in various historical records, lived in the city’s Seventh Ward, an area that is traditionally Catholic and a melting pot of people with African, Caribbean and European roots.

The grandparents, Joseph Martinez and Louise Baquié, eventually moved to Chicago in the early 20th century and had a daughter: Mildred Martinez, the pope’s mother.

The discovery means that Leo XIV, as the pope will be known, is not only breaking ground as the first U.S.-born pontiff. He also comes from a family that reflects the many threads that make up the complicated and rich fabric of the American story.

According to the one drop rule (created by white people) - the first American Pope - is BLACK.

He also named himself after the Pope who condemned slavery.

I am here for this!

I wonder if they did that on purpose.

I LOVE THIS FOR JD VANCE AND MAGA![/quote]

Why does the left need to make everything political?  I am Catholic, conservative, and very happy about the new Pope for many reasons.  I found the background that you posted very interesting.  You should stopped before making it into a political dig at the people with whom you disagree.[/quote]

The left make everything political? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ok.[/quote]
