The New Pope is American Born.

Astonishing. He is fluent in Spanish and Italian. Spent 18 years in Peru, became a Peruvian citizen. Member of the Augustinian order, Mathematician. Native of Chicago. Reserved, not inclined to express views publicly but appears to be a 'centrist'.
 
I guess the initial optics are disapppointing,

with the ostentation recalling Benedict 2. Not Pope Francis in a simple cassock. His chosen name echoes Leo 13, who "outlined the rights of workers to a fair wage, safe working conditions, and the formation of trade unions, while affirming the rights to property and free enterprise, opposing both socialismand laissez-faire capitalism" (from Wikipedia), so there's hope I guess.

I would have preferred Cardinal Luis Tagle, and I always felt slightly cheated that Cardinal Jaime Sin never made it to Pope Sin. Just because.

In the meantime, look at this contribution from our endlessly disgusting, offensive, and immature president, and gag:

Pope Leo XIV a 1977 math graduate from Villanova University.

The Church needed a Pope fluent in English to Address the UN, US Congress and world leaders, in Europe, US, India, and other countries around the world, where a majority may comprehend English . Spanish, Italian may cover other areas.

I see no ostentation. I was moved by his speech and demeanor. The mocking lion photo is a disgrace.
 
The new Pope is American born Cardinal Robert Prevost. He is the first Pope elected from the United States. He will be known as Pope Leo.
The Nostradamus Prophecy "A Black Pope" ? Leo XIV, Robert Prevost Martinez, has Creole/New Orleans grandparents of Color.

His speech in English, he'll be the best Pope ever ..!
If he increases the US Catholics by a few points over the actual 20 % will be more productive than visiting New Caledonia?
In Latin he has Gringo accent.

If there was to be a "black pope" wouldn't it have been, de facto, Pope Francis? "Black Pope" is an unofficial designation given to the position of Superior General of the Order of the Jesuits" Jorge Bergoglio wasn't superior general, but still important in the order... I don't know that "black pope" refers to skin colour, and there have already been several African popes.

In Latin you can have any accent you want, those Romans who might have cared* are long since gone.

* And apparently they didn't care much, neither about skin colour (there may have been black emperors), nor, I imagine about accent.
