“Really? You don’t want a bishop from Africa? If I wanted a nationalist religion, I’d become an anglican, and what you’re asking for is just anglicanism on a bigger scale.
The RCC consists of the worldwide communion. Nothing less.”
What you say, of course, is ridiculous. If you want a worldwide communion, then it appears YOU are the globalist. Yes, Catholicism has spread all over the world, but it is still a Western religion, with all of its strong roots in the West, and no, I don’t want ANY MORE PC BALONEY. Comprende? (just a little globalist lingo).
Catholicism is rooted in Jerusalem, in Asia, we are Maronite, Latin, Chaldean, Syro-Malabar, Syro-Malankara, etc.
There is no PC baloney about this
Catholicisms roots in just one -- the Maronite Church in Lebanon/Syria, date back to the 2nd century, in another, the Syro-Malabar in India to St. Thomas the Apostle Himself
If one limits only to "roots" then there can be no Pope from outside the Mediterranean countries -- no German or Slavic popes, not even English as they were Germanic barbarians
The Americas are 49% -- and from LA alone is 32%
Asia is 11%
europe is 27%
So, LA+APAC+Africa = 32+11+13 = 56% of Catholics are not from NA or Europe
so yeah, the bulk of Catholics TODAY are in Asia+Africa+LatinAmerica
Catholicism started in Jerusalem on the day of the Pentecost -- as the Pope said, we are the Church of the Pentecost, so we didn't "start" in Europe
Christianity is much bigger than any one region - we may be dying out in the Middle East, the place we started, but we are growing elsewhere and we will return to the ME
