World Catholics sees the first American Pope to barely American

The sudden elections were felt by the first American Pope fraught with the junior and confusion of the Roman Catholics all over the world, who considered this result not likely and perhaps not welcome – until the fourteenth Pope Liu rose to the balcony of the Church of St. Peter and chose to speak some sentences in Spanish.

At a moment, the new Pope, which was the former Kardinal Robert Francis Pierrest, indicated that his identity would challenge the easy classification. At that point, he chose on Thursday evening so that he did not say anything in English or mention the United States. He seemed determined to transmit the message that he was not an American model.

I worked. Pope Leo, who was born in Chicago, He has a Cruiol heritageand Long live in Peru For decades and speaks at least three languages, he created himself as a citizen in the world. Catholics around the world raced to demand parts of its multicultural and multi -language background as their own.

“He considers himself an American, but he also considers himself in Peruvia,” said Julia Keylite, a new 33 -year -old bone, who was in line with the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris for a special service for Catholicin who celebrates the new Pope on Friday evening. “He is a priest in the world.”

At a time when President Trump isolated the United States from its diplomatic allies and commercial partners Lifting a lot of global orderSome Catholics are concerned that the American Pope may try the Roman Catholic Church somewhat from the troubled American government.

Instead, it seems that Pope Liu has reassured them, at least at the present time, that he will preserve the church as a global moral voice calling for peace and justice, especially for immigrants, the poor and victims of war, in the form of Pope Francis.

It is described as more conservative and diplomatic than Francis. However, Bero’s warm words for Peru, who holds dual citizenship after he lived and worked there for more than 20 years, reminded Catholics of Francis, who was from Argentina.

Vatican News The name Liu, 69, is not the first Pope from the United States, but the second Pope “from the Americas”. The southern Americans rushed to declare it.

“It is more than America,” Cardinal Odillo Shearer of Brazil told a press conference on Friday.

He and many other Brazilian Cardinals raised the issue after a question about the nationality of the new Pope; One of the Brazilian correspondents said that the American Pope seemed taboo, due to the strength of the United States.

It was a relief in favor of Arali Torres Halle, 64 years old, a Catholic businessman in Mexico City, to learn in the past few days that the new Pope is not “purely American”.

“We feel threatened by them,” she said about the United States. “So it was a complete catastrophe and a cold in the face if the Pope was complete.”

Mrs. Torres saw the experience of Pope Liu as a bishop and a missionary in Peru to the order of Saint Augustine, and 12 years old who leads it all over the world, as he was decisive in forming it as a confusion in the needs of poor and weak people. She said she expects to serve as the weight of a budget for some of Mr. Trump’s policies to combat immigrants.

Even the description of Pope Liu, “American”, disturbed those Latin Americans who resented the word to describe someone from the United States, because they see it as a form of imperialism. They believe that the “American” should be applied to anyone from the entire continent – that is, from North, central or southern America.

It was certain that the 133 Cardinals who elected Pope Liu in two days are aware of the potential criticism they could face to choose the Pope of great power, where about 80 percent of people are not even Catholic-especially that Francis, who focused on what he called the “Church Parties”, is far from Rome, most of them from the global south.

Francis was named many Cardinals in the flavor. they It came from countries more than ever He participated in his views, yet he was elected American anyway, in what they described as a very spiritual and satisfactory process.

Many Cardinals said after being on Gundaf that Pope Liu’s nationality barely charged.

“In the end, I do not think that the country of origin is the decisive factor,” Cardinal Luis Antonio Talagl from the Philippines, who He was considered a great competitor He said at a press conference on Friday. “In the end, it comes to the person who can really serve the Church.”

In the Philippines, many believers had rooted the Cardinal Talab, one of the potential competitors to become the first Asian Pope. But some said they had already won by Pope Liu.

Sister Mary John Mananzan, a nun, is a nun, a Pedic, and the St. Scholasca Academy in Saint Fernando in the Philippines, by news that on social media, an account under the name Cardinal Brevost criticizes Vice President JD Vance to try to claim that Catholic education can be used to defend the mass separation of executors from the United States.

She said about the new Pope: “Although he has nice quality, he has integrity to be able to express his opinion when someone violates human rights.”

In Africa, where the church grows faster than anywhere else in the world, Adelaide Ndello said it shook in a surprise that the new Pope was American. Then I danced with joy.

Mrs. Nadlelo, 59, who is a producer and introduction with Radio and Ayomaini, a national Catholic radio station in Kenya, said that she had documented in Pope Liu because of his competence in several languages, years in Peru, Creen heritage.

After his election, genealogists have recorded that his ancestors may come from Haiti, Dominican Republic France.

She expressed her hope that the background will help him in the growing cultural and spiritual movement among the Church members.

She said, “We want the Pope who can communicate with the parties and remove the church from the rest zone.” “We want the Pope to all people.”

Laurent Stala Bredon, the priest and theology at the Paris Parish, said it seems that the first American Pope will have a very mixed heritage.

“For us, this is what America is: mixed, many assets, many generations of migration,” he said. “It is a melting crucible.”

In the end, the main part of Pope Liu’s identity may not be either American or his nationality in Peru, some members of the clergy and religious experts.

This may be, from a young age, the new Pope It was identified as AugustineA member of a religious matter known for his focus on missionary service and society.

“Augustine entered when he was 17 years old!” “The bishop of Algeria’s bishops and a member of Algeria said.

“I am Dominican. It is another nationality,” he said on Friday. “You belong to another fact. When you are in order, the difference in countries comes second. On his mind, I’m sure that.”
