I do not feel comfortable with an American pope right now (but is it because I am not comfortable being American myself?)

Before his Vatican service he'd been working pastorally as a bishop in Peru for more than 20 years. More of an "American-born" pope...

Yeah the more I read about him particularly, I'm seeing some of the logic of the choice. I am pretty excited that I can understand his Italian very well.

(Just read that he became a naturalized citizen of Peru, too. Even more "US-born"...)
