They talking about he's non european. GTFOH. Both of his parents were Italian immigrants who migrated to the Latin American colony called Argentina (named such because of the nickel-silver deposits found there; argent is latin for silver.) Now he's the Bishop of the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church based in Rome, Italy.

Who cares? Yet another man that the masses will put on a pedestal without ever realizing that he who won’t bring anyone closer to God or happiness.

so someone school the uninitiated.

What does the pope actually do besides hold a position, give speeches and wave to crowds?

Hes a head of state and leader of one of the worlds largest and wealthiest organisations so hes more than just a figurehead..the catholic church has lost some ground in the west and asia but they still have alot of juice especially in Africa and latin america.

Logical choice: Europe and North America are losing members while the Church is strongest in Africa, Latin America and Asia.
It's funny how American catholics keep talking about how the Church should become more liberal when they represent only 5% of the world's 1.2 billion catholics.
A tiny minority but a very loud one :aicmon:
