English is a difficult language to learn. Heck, many high school graduates in the US haven’t mastered the language (and more than a few college grads as well). So who cares if the Pope can speak English?
Just another thing for the malcontents to complain about.
Language is something you begin to learn at home - that’s why it’s called ”mother tongue”. If someone American has finished high school and hasn’t mastered English, then they have come from an uneducated family and gone to a very bad school. I diasgree that English is hard to learn - I went to a school with a lot of foreign students, some of whom arrived speaking no English, and they all learned very quickly.
English is a lot more easier to learn than you think. All it takes is, practice, practice, practice.
