His Father was Italian, can we assume his mother was also.

Doesn’t that make him an Italian Pope who was raised in Latin America?

Yeah both his parents were Italian Immigrants. Dad: Mario Jose Bergoglio and Mom: Regina Maria Sivori. You can't get anymore Italian then those names. lol! He was born in Argentina but is of first generation Italian lineage. So you're somewhat correct, he is a Latin American Pope of Italian ancestry but technically if you look at it he is still of the same European lineages that all other Popes before him were, which is why I kind of find it funny how the media is trying to portray him as "none European" when he is of European ancestry and we aren't even talking like 2nd or 3rd or 4th or 5th or 6th etc generations in Latin America, his parents were FRESH OF THE BOAT Italian Immigrants. lol!
