I wonder, given #RobertPrevost’s many years spent in #SouthAmerica, if the choice was related at all to the current cruelty of Trump’s #immigration policies & #deportations of #LatinAmericans. [he is also a Peruvian citizen]
Notable that after #Pope #LeoXIV gave his remarks in Italian he spoke in #Spanish, but the Chicago born #American did not speak in English.
[my aunt just texted me that Pope Leo’s dad was the principal at her grade school in Chicago Heights. She’s Italian & very excited]
