thank you i need this

Yeah these things are unavoidable for figures of authority in their position, especially during that time period when it was filed I think that was a smear campaign against the church or something but it should start to die down as we get further away from it.

Why did people think the Pope couldn't be American? Anyone is free to "apply", that was the whole point of Jesus bringing salvation to us all

this guy is taking me on a date later to a ramen place should I get shoyu or tonkotsu

Just pre existing views on American hyper materialism

Tonkotsu

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I don't understand the how high up these decisions are made but shouldn't Francis had rejected this guys cardinality over this??

Pan May 8, 2025, dem elect him Pope . Him chosen name is Leo XIV

No you don’t. Watch the young pope instead

prob due to america being seen more a protestant country than anything else lol

Smooth brain thought process

I don’t think people like OP are up in arms abt that either lol

Yeah thats gotta be one of the factors. I think most people have the idea that the US are just full of degenerate, arrogant, hyper political, uncultured swine which isn't entirely false, but I think this is a great display of the religious presence in this country

i mean OP would have hated whoever was pope, i doubt people think of materialism as a reason for the pope being american,

also there’s been “materialist” religions like calvinism

By materialism I meant shallow consumerism and the ever present “blasphemous American pop culture” perspective moreso

I'm not gonna lie, a part of me is worried for the safety of our churches now that we just got our first pope elected

calvinism lowkey insanely fascinating for its influence on western society

guy might be the first american to speak more than one language

ok Max Weber

Someone gotta ask him MJ or LeBron
