    A Statesian pope seemed unlikely with what’s happening with the US. Wild that it did happen.

      He’s of Peruvian descent too.

        When it comes to living there, yes. He lived there for decades working as a missionary. But when it comes to genetics, he’s of Spanish, French and Italian descent, so he’s still latino.

          Okay, yeah, still Latino, which is fine by me. He clearly has roots in Peru, which adds to my liking of him… so far, though some disturbing things of how he handled a pedophilia case makes me cautious (I don’t know enough yet but I’m definitely cautious).
