There is a strong reason to consider as highly possible that Cardinal Robert Francis Riggitano-Prevost Martinez, is a Jew:
[…] Since I hold a B.

When Odile died, her name was rewritten as Odile Copelle. — The change in her surname seems to signify that both variants are from the same origin, which as can be seen is Ashkenazi or Jewish (see below).

Editor's Note: For my report on the Jewish heritage of Cardinal Prevost. The meeting yesterday in the Sistine Chapel is no coincidence. -- A meeting in this chapel is very unusual, since the Vatican obtains revenue from selling special high priced tickets to see it. Thus, any function scheduled...
