I need a new bingo card game, this one is broken. We have an American as POPE!!!
🎶And The Home Of The Pope!
This is something I never would have called in a million years. The first American pope has been selected. Robert Francis Prevost is the new pope. Reporting live from Italy here, and laughing my heart out as everyone around me is somewhat stunned.
Born in the United States, he is also a Peruvian citizen.
Besides his native language English, Prevost speaks Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese, and can read Latin and German.[11]
n 2000, Prevost allowed Father James Ray, an Augustinian priest, to reside at St. John Stone Friary in Chicago. Ray had been suspended from public ministry since 1991 due to credible accusations of sexual abuse of minors. Although the priory was close to a Catholic elementary school, Prevost did not notify the school administration about Ray. The Augustinians noted that Ray was assigned a monitor while at St. John Stone. Ray was moved to a different residence in 2002 when the US Conference of Catholic Bishops adopted stricter rules for handling priests accused of abusing minors.
He is also the first Augustinian to become Pope since Eugene IV in the 15th century.
Augustinians are members of several religious orders that follow the Rule of Saint Augustine, written in about 400 AD by Augustine of Hippo.
"when the US Conference of Catholic Bishops adopted stricter rules for handling priests accused of abusing minors"
Things that make u go HMMMMM.
ya know..because back then there were hardly any rules regarding the abuse of minors.. they just look the other way :[
I wonder if this new pope has been a plant of sorts.. Secret Agent Pope lol
It'd be nice if he acts as double agent but i just read he renounced his US citizenship and had been living in Peru forever.
