He is not the first American Pope. He is the first US Pope. Francis was from Argentina (Jorge Bergoglio) and Argentina is in South América, part of the American continent. The US is only one of three countries in North America. I am fed up with the US appropriating the name of America

Please! Let me set this and so many other US-centric headlines straight. There was an American pope who just died. He was from SOUTH AMERICA. This man is from the United States which is just a part of the NORTH AMERICAN land mass. The AMERICAS spread from Alaska all the way down to the tip of Chile, which includes its archipelago.

The US is NOT America!
