No offense intended. I know some people believe the whole "He's Holy, the representation of Christ on earth" but come on, he was a normal guy just a few hours ago.
Anyway, have at it.

Does anyone see some non-Euro in him? If he has ancestors from colonial times then he definitely must have some minor admixture. Personally I don't see anything that stands out but he does have a very common White-Hispanic phenotype to me. His look is very familiar.

His paternal grandparents were from here (Piemont, Northwest).
Not sure about their maternal parents.
I don't see nothing of guarani/araucano/tierrafuegoche/etc. sincerely.

He looks like the old folk in the British Isles.
Fair do's, good luck to him.

Looks what he is: Italian. Very typical Italian, in fact (he actually has Roman-like features). Looks like no Spaniard I've ever seen...

He's really too old to gauge it properly but he might be gracile med.

You haven't seen many, then. Please stick to topics you actually know a thing or two.
He seems Atlantomed with slight Dinarid or something of sorts. Age doesn't make it any easy.
As far as I know all of his ancestry is from Piemont, mother included, so it's not surprising he looks fully European, because genetically he is.

totally agree, if you tell me about Gianluigi Buffon maybe not, but Bergoglio is way above average in spanish resemblance should you rank him with all italian population

Don't worry, there's literally nothing holy about him.

He's not a Pope. He is an anti-Pope. There has been no real Pope since Vat-II.
