All of a sudden the MB finds religion eh!
Maybe they're just proud of the Pontiff's Caribbean roots.
This American pope: Leo XIV’s bloodline reflects the US melting pot
The maternal grandfather of 69-year-old Robert Prevost, the newly minted pope, was evidently born abroad in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic, according to birth records that professional genealogist Chris Smothers cited to ABC News in a recent report. When Leo’s grandfather, Joseph Martinez, obtained an 1887 marriage license to wed the future pope’s grandmother, Louise Baquié, he listed his birthplace as Haiti, which at the time was the same territory as Santo Domingo, Smothers noted.
Please let the likes of JDVance know that this is no "Pet-eating Haitian".
