You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The first pope wouldn't have been European, right? Probably a few after him, also, maybe?
According to Wikipedia, the last Pope before Francis I to have come from outside Europe was St Gregory III from Syria, elected in 731.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Francis Xavier, afaik, was inspired by Francis of Assisi, so it's not necessarily XOR.
Speaking almost entirely ex cloaca.

I adore having somewhere to talk about church minutiae and early history.

But he's still a Jesuit if he named himself after Francis of Assisi, yes?
