Episode: Is Pope Leo XIV Black? Does it matter?
Description: So much is being made about Pope Leo XIV's #creole ancestry. Giving #sinners vibes for real. The fact of the matter is that people should not be gravitating towards him as the first Black pope. I don't know of any history of this man claiming Blackness. We tried it with Tiger Woods and we see how that went. I understand the history of the one drop rule in America but folks are going a bit too far by claiming this man as a Black man. #pope #popeleo #popeleoxiv #onedroprule #upstander #vatican #thevatican #popefrancis #robertprevost Learn...
