Jonathan V. Last cautions against thinking the papal election is all about things American. But he notes that right before Robert Prevost was made pope, American big-wig MAGA priest Robert Barron said, "until America goes into political decline, there won’t be an American pope."

"Barron is one of America’s MAGA priests, so naturally he could not imagine that anyone else in the world might view America as being in decline."
