    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.

      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.
