Pope Leo XIV's Multilingual Address Sparks Conservative Outrage

The appointment of the new Pope, Leo XIV, has sparked a heated debate in the US. His decision to deliver his first address in Italian and Spanish, rather than English, has drawn criticism from some conservative circles. The Daily Show's Desi Lydic highlighted this controversy, pointing out the irony of conservatives criticizing the Pope for not speaking English, given his message of peace and unity. One commentator noted, "I would have loved for the first pope from America to say something in English." However, Lydic countered, "If English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for the Pope." This incident reflects a broader tension between religious tradition and cultural identity in the US.
