Which continental model you use here is entirely irrelevant anyway because in neither model is north america referred to as just “america”. The only time that just “America” is used is to refer to the union of north and south america.
There is no country of America. There is the united states of america which would make the pope a statesman. So you can have the first north american pope, the first statesman pope, or just settle for second american pope.
What??? Of course we dont call North America simply America, why would you even think that was an argument I was making? That goes against everything I’ve said.
And there is a country of America, it’s the United States of America. No one calls Germans from the Federal Republic of Germany - Federalisians, same goes for anywhere else including America.
Actually, literally the entire world excepted the US does call them “United States of America”, if not only “United States”, with traductions of those. The French use “États-Unis”, often not specifying America, as do the Spanish speaking world with “Estados unidos”. And, yeah, we often just say “Germany”, 'cause Germany doesn’t try to appropriately the name for the entirety of the continent they sit on, like that one weirdo country does.
Cool, do you see me going up to them and demanding they speak it like the English do? Stop being a shitcunt and trying to force your language and cultural norms on other peoples.
Oh and Germany does take on the name of a geographical region spanning more than the present day nation state called Germany. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germania
Your entire argument for why everyone should just do what you want is simply “We do it this way” and “The US is stupid”? Like seriously grow the fuck up mate.
By that logic he’s the first North American pope.

Yes? He’s both from the country of America and from the continent of North America.
This is very basic English, it shouldn’t be blowing your mind.
America isn’t a country.
You are talking about the USA
Hes the second American pope. America refers to both north and south america. The United States of America only referes to a part of America.
He may be the first north american pope and the first pope from the united states of america, but hes not the first american pope.
No.
We follow a different continental model than you do that separates them into two different continents of North America and South America.
