[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 423169, member: 19949"] Is the first American pope actually a big issue in the US? I watch US daytime soaps and expected preemptions, since Leo had his first appearance at the same time the soaps were airing, but nothing happened and all the soaps stayed on the air. If the president had had a bad cough at noon, the regular network program would surely have been interrupted to talk about it all afternoon, but the first American pope wasn't worth changing the program. The election of the new pope did surprise me. I had initially ruled out an American, but rather considered whether it would actually be an Italian again, which I consider a step backward, or a non-white pope, which would have been exciting. I fear that the new pope will have a difficult time, and that Americans (the press or Trump fans in particular) will try to find or fabricate dirt on him. I've already read too many comments that he's woke and therefore not a true Christian. I hope Leo avoids meeting JD Vance for as long as possible. I mean, less than 24 hours after Pope Francis shook JD's hand, he was dead. And then there's the Zelensky drama: Trump and Zelensky can talk reasonably in private, but as soon as JD Vance is involved, it's a disaster. So, for Leo's sake, I hope he has nothing to do with JD Vance. [/QUOTE]
