German Pope, German Catholics

[Garyjohn2]

Hello,

I just wanted to ask any German catholics or German-American catholics…

What is it like having a German Pope? Does it mean anything special to you? Does it increase your faith in any way?

I can’t imagine there ever being an American pope, but if there was, I think it would be cool for me living in America. Like maybe I could relate to him more or something.

Just wondering!

Why would you ask that? Do you really think the faith of Germans is so weak they need a German Pope to strengthen it. I think that’s an insult to our German friends.

!

it is doubly exciting for me, in that my heritage is German, and I am also a Benedictine Oblate. Also, Joseph, his given name, is a special patron saint of our familty. I don’t live in Germany and don’t know anyone who does, but I still cannot find or imagine any offensive construction on OP’s question.

I love it . The Irish, Spanish, Latinos, Italians and Polish all brag about how their faith is the strongest and is most devout. But we have got the Pope!!! Benedict Der Bayer!
