It’s his native tongue and he is not very good in English.
I don’t see the story here.

This pope sucks anyways, in any language.

[TangledUpInBlue]

Me either. The UN is for “the world” - most of which speaks Spanish. It just happens to be located in the US but he’s speaking to the Catholics of the world.

Move right along...

Then don’t come here and give a speech.

I don’t see the story here.

Idiots will make one. Just watch.

Geez... I'm not a big fan of the guy either, but look at all the FReepers blowing right past your reasonable comments that explain the situation.

We should be disappointed that he speaks the language of Marx, not that he speaks the language of Mexicans.

[NoKoolAidforMe]

The last two popes spoke English fluently. Since most Catholics in Africa, the Philippines, Western Europe and America speak English, it is ridiculous that he does not speak the common language that unites the continents. He was basically elected to do a job that he is not qualified to do.

Did JPII speak polish when he came here? Don’t be blind.
