everyone around the world has called people from the US "Americans" for decades People from Canada call themselves Canadians. People from Brazil called themselves Brazilians. We all know "American" is short hand for United States of America. Why are we pretending we don't understand that.
I've done a lot of research regarding Prevost's past. There are several sources all stating the same things about him. I'm sharing 5.
Also, when Prevost served in Peru and was told about 3 women who were abused and assaulted by clergy, he didn't do anything about it.
Our new Pope has a shady past.
Well, Argentina, where Pope Francis is from, is also located in America. So Prevost is actually the first pope from the US.
Stop calling this shithole America.
If the country at least picks a name we would then have a descriptor, right?
United states of america is not a country name. Any country in America with states/provinces can be a united states in america.
oh i wasn’t tryna have a hypothetical discussion, i just meant what name do you use to describe people from the US. as it is named currently.
my brazilian português tutor said there is a another word besides americana/o, but it’s so long & impractical nobody uses it he told me don’t even learn it.
That would be estadunidense but that doesnt work in englsih I believe. It would be somewhat similiar to USain as you said before but spelled out. And you are right, people generally say American
i do hate the new york yankees as a team, buuuut i kinda like that yankee name otherwise. 🧐👀
it’s interesting that it’s a general term outside the US because here it refers to northerners & more specifically mostly those in the northeast of the country.
Wrong. The former Pope Framciscus was from America too, from Argentina.
America has 35 countries/territories, of which the United States of America is only one.
Rik Devillé, who defends victims of abuse in the church, finds his appointment “A slap in the face" Prevost has protected a priest who abused children for years.
“It’s unbelievable, the whole world is cheering, but the victims are not.”
So is this cow-towing to Trump or an act of opposition? The catholic church in the US has at least dared to speak up against trumpism from time to time. Honest question, I know very little about the catholic church in general and the US branch in particular.
we all know what people mean when we say Americans, it's an abbreviation that everyone all over the world uses. its silly and petty to pretend you don't understand that
You should understand first what THE WORLD means. When you say "all over the world" you mean what YOU believe the world is. When you wrongly use a name that is not yours isn't it petty?
I hope he doesn't do anything radical and revolutionary like, for example, quote from the Sermon on the Mount. Those woke liberal rantings could land you in detention by ICE these days.
He's already criticized the VP. What's the betting he doesn't get back into the USA on his next flight home?
Response to @leatherguyd.bsky.social , Damie boy: "🤢". There you go using emoji in a context that make sense. Whomever is the new guy, you do a better job then the previous one. Just in case, the guy is a russian troll, and he blocked me.
Hello All. New Pope drops. Pope Leo will be muttering stuff no doubt. Trump can’t even get a retweet from God. These T-shirts include 100% holy sass.
50 odd hilarious Trump designs in my Trump Collection below :) Enjoy.
For the first time in 2,000 years, the pope is American. Leo XIV isn’t just a first, he could be the moral voice we’ve been missing. In a world where faith is weaponized & truth feels optional, one man in white might still remind us what light looks like.
Watching all the video clips of new Pope Leo the XIV, I relish that finally there is an American, however, I am also struck that in ALL the scenes there is NOT one woman. Right now this new Pope is only Pope for 1/2 the human race and as a woman, he is not my Pope.
Typically when people say “American” they are referring to the USA. Which is why Canadians and Mexicans aren’t referred to as “American” despite all three countries being in North America. It’s a cultural thing, same reason the US is referred to as “Western” despite being east of Asia.
North AMÉRICA
Central AMÉRICA
South AMÉRICA

Christopher Columbus arrived at New York? Orlando? Miami?
It was Bahhamas, in Central AMÉRICA.

Like I said dipshit, look at a map. North America and South America are two separate continents. Central America isn't a continent, it's a region. There is no content just called "America"
You’ll want to reread my reply. Being born and raised in Chicago, I’m very aware of the pope’s history. People seem to forget that South America is also part of America.

Pope Francis (born Jorge Mario Bergoglio) was the first American pontiff!
The first American Pope was Francis.
America is much more than USA.
Do you need any map?
