The Rev. Thomas Reese of America magazine noted that in past centuries "the church always tried to keep (the papacy) out of the hands of the superpower" of the day ..... Yep. They were talking about this on FOX News yesterday.
Looks like the next Pope may be Italian again maybe??
I think I heard that PJP II was the first non-Italian Pope in ~500 years?
