Yeah, my hot take here is that the church wanted an American pope to be able to clap back at Trump, and try to sway some of his religious supporters.
Yup. At least for the folks who are actually religiousβ¦ I am very curious to see how this will play out. Are most of these r βChristianβ voters actually Christian or just playing an act.
Trump 2 changed the calculus
Pope Francis was from S. America, so technically this is not the first American pope.
Quick question: what is the demonym (a word used to identify people who are from a particular place) of the people from the USA?
Cunts?
Morons feels more accurate. As a moron anyway.
Sad this doesn't extend to French people as well.
First the Fr*nch would have to qualify as people
Yanks
In the opposite way that when saying Asians no one thinks of Russians, no one thinks of Chileans when you say Americans.
US-American, often abbreviated to just American.
American. Or if we're being a little silly 'Murican.
USers.
US Americans
Amusingly, the very first search result I got for "US americans" is Exactly what I thought it would be
According to English speakers who didn't understand the proper meaning of words like "continent," it's "Americans." It's stuck around now though.
According to most other languages and nations who use more accurate descriptors, it's closer to "Statesman." You know, people from the 'United States'
Pretending to more grammatically correct and calling it "statesman." lol. We all live in states, whether you're in the united states of America or not, unless you live in some kind of anarchist or libertarian commune in the ocean or something.
Language is made up. The term used to refer to people from the USA in English is American essentially everywhere. It doesn't define anything. That's just the word used, and that's OK. For example, ketchup isn't a fermented fish sauce either, despite the original word possibly meaning that, but you likely wouldn't complain about that, because we all know what it means and that's the word we've decided to use for it.
Personally I'd say Statesian than Statesman, but it is the same thing
There is 'Usonian', but nobody uses it.
I think "US-American" is the most accurate, least controversial, and most grammatically correct one there is π
South America is South America, not America.
So yes, technically the first American pope. Not the first Pope from the Americas.
By that logic he's the first North American pope.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas
Yes? Heβs both from the country of America and from the continent of North America.
This is very basic English, it shouldnβt be blowing your mind.
Hes the second American pope. America refers to both north and south america. The United States of America only referes to a part of America.
He may be the first north american pope and the first pope from the united states of america, but hes not the first american pope.
No.
We follow a different continental model than you do that separates them into two different continents of North America and South America.
Which continental model you use here is entirely irrelevant anyway because in neither model is north america referred to as just "america". The only time that just "America" is used is to refer to the union of north and south america.
There is no country of America. There is the united states of america which would make the pope a statesman. So you can have the first north american pope, the first statesman pope, or just settle for second american pope.
America isn't a country.
You are talking about the USA
"American" is the official demonym of the United States but people here will fight you on that for whatever reason.
Here in Murica the colloquial meaning of an unqualified "America" is "the United States of America" its just the way we speak Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Oh fun, I look forward to American gun insanity getting mixed into the Catholicism.
Priests and Nuns do have great kit for concealed carry.
Finally the Vatican will know freedom
πΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈ !!! AMERICA, FUCK YEAH !!! πΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈ
I'm sure the new pope is honored to have CitiesByDiana congratulating him.
Conclvave sounds like something you see a doctor about after a week locked in a room with hookers and blow.
