@karlwest437

He sounds like a pretty cool dude, so naturally MAGA hates him

@dannycole319

'Least American of the American Cardinals because of his quiet and humble ways'.......Nailed it!

@ciuuin4098

I did catch flak from the American stereotype when I lived overseas 😂 I was told I was too quiet and polite to be a "real American"

@ToePixie

And he's already put out a harsh condemnation of the Trump administration 😂

@sueblankenship9441

I'm not Catholic so it doesn't matter to me who they pick, but if the red hats hate him, that's a reason for me to like him.

@oooooo-ji2nn

He's not a typical US-American. He can find Italy on a map.

@rainerzufall42

Desi Lydic is such a gem...

@dissipatedfog

He spent most of his life outside the US, he lived in Peru for many years and holds a Peruvian passport. In his first public address, he spoke in Italian and Spanish but not English - he has a welcome global perspective. Pope Francis was the first Pope I had any respect for, hopefully Pope Leo XIV will be more like him than previous Popes

@Happy-uy5wc

Most Americans are not known for their "quiet, humble" ways. 🤣

@DarrenEden-ub4vj

I once visited a Shaolin  temple in China. People walking around talked in hushed voices of respect. Except for the American tourist. He was loud and annoying.

@ewaoconnor

I was worried at first when an American pope was elected, but I was relieved when I learned more about him. He seems humble and has great faith.

I find it hard to comprehend that around 40% of Americans reject the theory of evolution, largely due to their (Protestant) interpretation of the Bible.

@Tyler-T

He knows more words in more languages than the US can comprehend....😂😂😂😂

@juliansimmonds4912

Desi you make me smile soooo much!

@GracielaVidal-g3k

I love this lady.

@CoffeeLuvah

DESI! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🤣🤣💐💐💐💐💐YOU ARE THE BEST!

@censusgary

Desi gives the best side-eye I’ve ever seen.

@imtechman5224

As an American, I don't think I'd pick an American to lead anything right now given our immediate track record of leaders...

@iquiltasigoalong

Yep. American tourists are loud😂

@victoriaanderson7954

I'm from Chicago and I've been told that he's a White Sox fan. I'm still very proud of him

@carlossalas4750

Cubs fan? Then yeah, he is definitely a cool dude!!. 😎 and yes Desi for an American you are definitely a humble lady.
