Donald Trump and the American Pope tabu-Diepresse.com
The first reaction was: « Who? » The joy was great in the hometown of Chicago, and displeasure dominated in the Trump supporter camp.
In the Cathedral of Chicago, communion was just underneath at noon when a measuring visitor Priest Gregory Sakowicz cheered up the name of the new Pope: « It is Cardinal Robert Prevost. » When Sakowicz announced the cheerful message at the end of the worship service, it was like an « explosion », the rector described the moment in US media. « You could have thought that the Chicago Bears had won the Super Bowl. »
In the « Windy City », a debate immediately broke out whether Leo XIV is a fan of the Cubs or White Sox, the city’s base teams. John Prevost, who had phoned his brother on the day before the conclusion began, categorically decided on the WHITE SOX. In addition, Robert had given him a question that the cardinals would not choose a US Pope. Robert Prevost, however, was considered the « the least American cardinal » because of his long work in Peru and Rome-and because of his Peruvian dual citizenship-analyzed « Vaticanologists » like US expert Thomas Reese. Which is why the Latin American cardinals would have quickly agreed on the « Latin Yankee ». As Leo XIV, he did not talk English in his speech, but Italian and Spanish.
