"I think I heard that PJP II was the first non-Italian Pope in ~500 years?"

Yes, 450 or 455 years.

"Looks like the next Pope may be Italian again maybe??"

I don't think so. In my opinion the next one will be from South America or Africa or... maybe from China - a few months ago Pope appointed some "secret Cardinal" - I read that he may be Chinese.

It will be interesting to find out.

They are on a strict schedule to pick a replacement, too, I believe.

I think I heard FOX News say something like 2 weeks, or 15 days or thereabouts? Not sure.
