US-Amen? New Pope is American but hates America

[Vetteman]

First thing he says in public is in Italian and Spanish. He’s American, he should have spoken in his native tongue first. If English was good enough for Jesus the Pope should be speaking English too.

 

[Politruk]

He's the Bishop of Rome. Of course his first public address was in Italian.

 

[Politruk]

If English was good enough for Jesus the Pope should be speaking English too.

. . . You're doing the "Deep Cover Liberal" thing, ain'tcha?

 

[LoneMilf]

If English was good enough for Jesus the Pope should be speaking English too.

You actually think Jesus spoke English??

 

[Politruk]

You actually think Jesus spoke English??

It's an old joke.

Something to do with King James Onlyism.

 

[Ciceri]

Brace yourself for all the jackasses who think Pope Leo XlV should bend the knee to Trump

 

[Bray123]

Pope Leo has told Trump to go to El Salvador to wash the feet of the poor and wrongly deported.

 

[HisArpy]

Brace yourself for all the jackasses who think Pope Leo XlV should embrace "progress."

Fixed for you.

Ever heard of the phrase "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"?

Probably not, you appear to have been homeschooled.

The phrase means to adapt to the customs and traditions of a place you are visiting, or in a more general sense, to follow the norms and practices of a particular situation.

Vatican City is 2.1 miles away from the Rome city limits.

For centuries, a new pope addressed the faithful in Latin.

Nowadays, the tradition is for the new pope addresses the faithful in Italian.

Not that you care, because you are a knuckle-dragging, sloped forehead, mouthbreathing miscreant of little consequence and even less intelligence, but there is an English language transcript of Pope Leo's remarks here.

We both know you won't even click the link, let alone read his remarks.

Why? Because the right wing hate sites you idolize blast-faxed you, telling you to demonize the new Pontiff early and often, because it appears his policies will conflict with your toxic xenophobic red pill agenda.

In summary:

• Pope Leo is a better man than you
• Pope Leo is a better man than your pencil-necked father ever was
• Pope Leo is a better man than your children ever will be

Cry harder, muppet.

P.S. Pope John Paul II, the most conservative Pope of your lifetime, gave his opening blessing in Italian as well, although he was the first non-Italian pope since the 16th century. Should he have given his opening blessing in his Polish native tongue?

 

[Holy_Seduction]

‘He’s American …’

And Peruvian.

And it seems premature to assign the attribute of ‘evil’ so soon as his Popeliness opens his mouth.

 

[Chernosoth]

Maybe the new pope will say something about the futility and stupidity of hating trolls and performance alts on the internet.

Paging Jack Chick!

 

[PaxNurgle]

I've often wondered whether Vetteman was simply a parody account, and not actually trying to be serious.

 

[stxjimmy]

Don’t do it then.

 

[Politruk]

Doin' the Vatican Rag!

They don’t speak Spanish in Italy. Maybe they speak that in your ass.

 

[Politruk]

It's basically the same language -- you know, like Chinese and Japanese.

 

[Wylie3]

Jesus was an Arab so definitely didn't speak English and English as you know it wasn't even around then.

 

[Politruk]

He spoke Aramaic -- you can hear it in The Passion of the Christ.

 

[coati]

Yeah, and another thing, if dinosaurs were good enough for Jesus, the Pope should also be using them for transportation.

 

[Politruk]

Traditionally, they used this.

Now replaced by this.

Good morning, my closeted homosexual friend.
I see that once again you choose to comment on my ass.
One suspects that October 11th is circled in red on your calendar.
Perhaps this will be the year you summon up enough courage to make your Debutante Debut on National Coming-Out Day.

Back on topic: Pope Leo XIV (which Orange Julius Caesar™ insists on referring to as "Pope Bob From ChiCAGo!" ) was Born In The USA but served a significant portion of his priesthood in South America.

Here's another reason for you racists to hate the new Pope: All four of Pope Leo XIV’s maternal great-grandparents were “free people of color” in Louisiana based on 19th-century census records. *gasp*

So the new Pope has, like your granddaddy used to say, "a touch of the tar brush" in his bloodline.

When your ancestors got rid of Reconstruction and disenfranchised the Pope's great-grandparents back in the day, the great-grandparents packed up and moved to Chicago. The Pope's maternal grandmother was listed in census records as "mulatto" but like many light-skinned women of her era, "passed as white". When she gave birth to the Pope's mother after marrying a Haitian immigrant, she successfully registered the Pope's mother as "white".

Genealogists estimate the new Pope has somewhere between 12.5 and 16 percent "African" DNA.....so I suspect you and the few remaining racists on this board (Busybody and Rebel5Soul) will be calling him the "N-word Pope" going forward.

The Pope has spent well over 20 years in Peru, doing two "tours of duty" as he rose up the Catholic heirarchy. It's not surprising.....or inappropriate, your pearl-clutching notwithstanding...that he gave a shout-out to his homies in Peru.
He appears to be a "man of the people", which I'm sure rustles your racist jimmies.

So, in summary.....deal with it. Or don't deal with it. The Pope, the Catholic church, and the good people of Literotica truly don't care what you think.
