It is a Latin word. Meaning: We have a Pope. Please do not confuse with the Tamil word “Papam”
Everyone is surprised that in more than 2000 years, an American was elected as a Pope. But when he came out to speak to the audience he spoke in Spanish. Though he was an American born, he served in Peru for more than 20 years. So, he is fluent in Spanish language.
Here is my tongue in cheek remark (Please take it as a joke)
When Donald Trump wants to dominate the world, is there a special reason why they elected an American?
Did Trump pressure the cardinals to elect an American?
Did Trump threaten Vatican with Tariff?
Did Trump threaten to annex Vatican as the 52nd State (after Canada the 51st)?
Did Trump threaten to rename Vatican as East Virginia?
Did Trump threaten to deport foreign born bishops living in USA to El Salvador.
As the famous Tamil Movie dialogue says “enakku oru unmai therinjagnanum”. (I want to know the real truth.)
The appointment of an American pope is a significant shift from the tradition of choosing pope mostly from Europe, especially Italy. It is a surprise choice by the cardinals no doubt but not an impossibility.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Mr. KP.
DeleteWhat the new Pope does in the future might answer this question
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Rajesh.
DeleteInteresting and edged with humour blog. Only now I know the present Pope is an American and it is the first time an American has been chosen as Pope

ReplyDeleteChance is there for your assumption, though may not be true. Trump wants, I think, the USA flag should fly over the Globe. But some other set of people also wish for the same. Trump shouldn't see this post and comments. Lol.
Anyway, Trump having been being in the friendship line of our nation, he is in my good book.
Thanks for your comments Sarala.
