If they want to keep it out of the hands of power, then France should fit the bill.
hehe! Yep.And apparently France's history of screwing things up goes WAY back:
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, whether the Holy Roman Empire, Spain or France. The exception, the 14th century French popes who moved the Holy See to Avignon, proved disastrous.
