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.
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
US-American, often abbreviated to just American.
American. Or if we're being a little silly 'Murican.
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'
Typical nationalist South American, doesnβt understand that there are countless continental models and none is more correct than the others but still demands English speakers use their languages meaning.
How about you stop being such a nationalistic little colonial cunt and enforcing your language on others?
I mean, if you looked at my post history to see I was born in South America you'd have seen that I refer to myself as an American, like from the US.
That being said, using words incorrectly like "nationalist," especially "nationalist South American," which according to your fee-fees is a continent, not a nation, just goes to prove the point I made.
Also "colonial." You're just throwing buzzwords without understanding them, or rather, you're just throwing words without understanding them.
I was clearly being snarky about it, language is ever flowing, changing, and contradicting itself with words such as 'napron' into 'apron,' 'metaphorically' into 'literally,' or the thousands of borrowed words that mean what they are like 'hound dog' and 'chai tea.'
How about you stop being so blindly sensitive to someone making a sensible point about the only language you know and maybe laugh at yourself a little.
When someone says it's stupid that in Spanish cars are male and clouds are female I don't clutch my pearls, I laugh and agree that it's stupid.
Personally I'd say Statesian than Statesman, but it is the same thing
USers.
In the opposite way that when saying Asians no one thinks of Russians, no one thinks of Chileans when you say Americans.
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―
The big ol' typo in this meme makes it work even better.
Covfefe is probably served at conclvaves.
Conkla-vavies!
I'm starting to think we live in a Neal Breen movie.
No... no... NOOOOOO!!!! IT MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE!!!!!
Who?
If you have 2 hours that you just really fucking hate and want them to suffer, watch βFateful Findingsβ on Youtube. Someone uploaded it and since Neal Breen publishes and distributes all his own movies, Youtube doesnβt scan for them as copywritten.
Update: I watched it. This shit is up there with The Room. Distractingly awful.
That ending. I would have thought the President of Bank could have come up with an original way to off himself.
And why did Neil have to say every line twice? Why did he have to say each line twice?
An American pope? In this economy?
It worked in Blazing Saddles π€·
Dank reference. π«Ά
Oh fun, I look forward to American gun insanity getting mixed into the Catholicism.
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.

πΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈ !!! AMERICA, FUCK YEAH !!! πΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈ
This cannot be real.
It's real, this is a meme Instagram account.
Real but satirical? I'm okay with that.
I wonder if heβs going to turn himself into a sandworm.
