New Pope is American

[OmahaOmaha]

This is a huge deal for American Catholics isn’t it?

Not sure, but Pope Francis didn’t ever go back to visit Argentina (did visit other SA countries). Although he grew up and studied in the US, most of time he has been in Peru (becoming a naturalized citizen) and then on to Rome in 2023 when he became Cardinal. Seems like he wasn’t generally on the list of top ‘favorites’ but is centrist, maybe a compromise between the progressives that would take Francis’ path even further vs the conservatives who want to take things back several decades.

Not sure why the downvotes – was trying to be factual, but as a non-Catholic, perhaps I shouldn’t really comment other than he seems like a good guy to me who has tried to serve in his faith and appears humbled by the mantle. Or perhaps the downvotes are that he isn’t who some hoped it would be or favors policies or positions they don’t agree with. No feelings hurt here, just curious to me.

I heard that if there’s no Pope decided after 4 rounds of voting, they decide it by having the cardinals do alternating possessions starting on the 25 yard line. If it’s still not decided after an additional 2 rounds, they have to go for a 2-point conversion every time. That’s probably how the American cardinal won.

I wish the NFL would follow Catholicism more closely.

[hbUte]

Well that didn’t take long, the new Pope is already in the portal.

[TruckStopTerrors]

A miraculous day for American Catholics. I never thought I would see it in my lifetime.

[Ute Dub]

Urban Frank Meyer, the III, agrees!

also anti trump and vance love it

[TruckStopTerrors]

You haven’t done your research. He’s a very mixed bag. Pro immigration which is where Trump/Vance and him don’t align. Very pro family, very anti-abortion, anti-lgbtq, anti-socialist, and anti-gun rights. Also, he’s a Republican according to voting records. So, he’s going to hold ideas which annoy both sides.

[Utah#1]

who cares, and not to be an ass about it, but if the new pope is WOKE, who f’n cares if he’s the first American pope, if he’s anti-American = WOKE, doesn’t matter if he’s the first “American” pope, he’s a liberal WOKE sellout and a wolf in sheeps clothing. I saw he’s Republican, but that don’t mean $***. those kinds of people are called RINOs (Republican in name only = Democrat liberal). he pushes the secular Jesus of the world, not the Jesus of the Bible. he hates Trump not because of how Trump is, but because Trump puts America first, everyone else in the world last! Take care of us (America) first, everyone else last!

[RiseasUtes]

Trump doesn’t care about you or I(or any other American) unless it involves lining his own pockets.

[Utah#1]

yup, something liberal karens would say

[RiseasUtes]

Resorting to childish name calling instead of a constructive conversation is something I would expect a Trump Cuck to do.

You guys get very defensive when Dear Leader is talked about negatively.

Btw, I have 0 issue with whatever way anybody leans, politically. I can appreciate both sides depending on the issue. What I haven’t found yet though is a MAGA that is capable of a rational conversation.

[UteThunder]

Admonishes someone for name calling, immediately resorts to name calling. 🙄🤪🤣

And the irony of accusing Trump of lining his own pockets after what Biden and his family have done. (Chef’s kiss)

[DataUte]

Jesus said love God and your neighbor. He spent most time with outcasts and sinners, not the ruling class or rich. And he definitely didn’t put himself first.

Oh, and even though the current administration feels they have some mandate to say what being an ‘American’ is because they won, it should be remembered that 36% of the population (the winning segment) was ‘didn’t vote’ vs 32% for 47 (31% the other candidate).

[SkinyUte]

Y’know, when you’re writing rants about how the Pope is “woke” because he’s not just not MAGA enough, maybe that’s a good sign to step away from the internet for a while and re-evaluate things.

Just a thought….

[shon]

I see there are a lot of sad incels on here that have to bring their Libtarded sadness into sports. Seriously, go back to the Rainbow Room. And take your Woke Pope with you.
