Americanos se dizem chocados com escolha de novo papa: 'Não poderíamos estar mais orgulhosos'

Transcript

00:00We did not expect any of this, and we couldn't be prouder to be Americans today.

00:04I'm so happy that this new pope is un-American.

00:13It wasn't expected. It absolutely wasn't expected.

00:17It was not something I really hoped for.

00:19I was hoping maybe for Cardinal Tagli or an Italian, or I thought.

00:24But I'm proud. I'm very proud an American walked out and surprised us all.

00:29But, you know, these conflicts, that's what they do. They surprise us.

00:32And the Cardinals are guided by the Holy Spirit, and here we are.

00:36So I wish them very well.

00:37It was very unexpected, but nonetheless, we are excited.

00:40As I know, everybody back in the United States is also equally as excited as we are.

00:44We started crying and hugging and just shocked and just so happy.

01:02I was shocked. To be honest, I was shocked.

01:05I didn't believe it.

01:06Still, it's really hard for me to believe right now that he's an American.

01:09It's just something I can't describe to be an American Catholic who's in St. Peter's Square

01:15and gets to watch an American walk out when the Cardinals open that curtain.

01:23Wild.

01:26I expect him to continue to open up the church, to continue to build a bigger tent to let more people in.

01:34And instead of denying access to others, I think the Pope should continue to show compassion.

01:40We're proud to be from the United States, but we are even prouder today that we could say that the Pope is also from the United States.

01:47We're proud to be from the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States.
