  • Is the pope Italian?

    From Adam H. Kerman@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 8 18:24:06 2025
    Why, no. No, he's not. Robert Prevost was born in Chicago.

    He'll rule as Leo XIV. He's just under 70. He's also an Augustinian.
    They've rarely held the papacy. Looks like he was just appointed
    cardinal earlier this year.

    The article I read said he's the first Augustinian pope ever.

    He's apparently on the record as disagreeing with Trump about
    deportation policy, at least in case of the "Maryland man" who Trump
    says is a senior MS-13 member. The world may be in for another
    "activist" pope....

    Same thing as a racist but toward Chicago.
