_I disagree...I feel that there was no disapproval of the choice...... but after 26 years.... the Italians , of course, would want the next Pope to come from home....they wanted an Italian Pope...I can understand that...
History/tradition/all that stuff..Very understandable.. hay, gotta cheer for the home team... ;-)
