    His father.... was of French and Italian descent, and his mother, was
    of Spanish descent....born at Mercy Hospital in Chicago on September
    14, 1955

    So, born with different "cultural" genes....you can't become a pope
    unless one has time in the church's saddle.

    Prediction

    Trump: We have an American Pope cos I made America Great Again

    Pope: Nationalism is bad, Jesus didn't like capitalism, and tariffs
    hurt the poor

    Trump: The Pope is a bad Pope, what a nasty Pope, I call him Fake
    Pope, etc

    Trump: We're taking steps to encourage the Fake Pope to abandon the
    Vatican's failed, un-American DEI policy. The woke Opus DEI project
    has to stop. I'm instructing the Defense Department to review all
    DARPA grants that may be supporting Opus DEI operations. I'm
    reviewing trade agreements with the Vatican Sea with a view to
    adjusting tariffs that some low IQ flunky overlooked on Liberation
    Day. Can't rule out an audit of Leo's income tax returns for the last
    decade. Just because he's a head of state doesn't mean he doesn't
    have to file US tax returns.

    I watched this interview back then, and his "style" has not changed.
    BS, loyalty, and retribution have been constants in his life.

    There's an existing special name for a "fake pope": Antipope. But I
    conceed that the chances of Trump knowing that are slim.

    but if Trump does know it, he probably likes it

    Pope Leo XIV is descended from Creole people of color from New
    Orleans. Take a look at historical records that trace the story of his
    mother's family.

    https://bsky.app/profile/nytimes.com/post/3lotxbajq4s2i

    <<<Creole people of color

    The Creoles of color are a multiracial ethnic group of Louisiana
    Creoles that developed in the former French and Spanish colonies of
    Louisiana (especially in New Orleans), Mississippi, Alabama, and
    Northwestern Florida, in what is now the United States. French
    colonists in Louisiana first used the term "Creole" to refer to people
    born in the colony, rather than in Europe, thus drawing a distinction
    between Old-World Europeans and Africans from their descendants born
    in the New World.[2][3] Today, many Creoles of color have assimilated
    into (and contributed to) Black American culture, while some retain
    their distinct identity as a subset within the broader African
    American ethnic group.[4]

    This American pope: Leo XIV's bloodline reflects the US melting pot

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/11/pope-leo-xiv-family-history

    "While not explicitly using the "melting pot" metaphor, [Mark] Twain
    explored the notion of a unified American identity emerging from the interaction and blending of diverse cultures and backgrounds. He
    recognized that while individuals retained their unique identities,
    they also contributed to a shared American experience"
