The problem is, no matter who is selected...even if he is not political from an American perspective, and even if he is making a comment regarding, say, Latin American regimes, US media will interpret his comments in the light of domestic US politics (and twist those comments if necessary, as we have seen Tyrone do) . The modern day pope almost has to be a US lawyer to avoid having his words misapplied to American politics.
