Thanks god

Papacy is an Italian thing


Italian popes - more or less 180
French popes - more or less 10
German popes - more or less 7

It makes sense. The Pope is the Bishop of Rome and usually bishops are from the country that their diocese is in. Same with why Italians are disproportionately represented in the College of Cardinals and the Curia.

At one point France had a lot more influence especially when the Pope lived in Avignon, but that was before the revolution.

>his country got POPE'D

There is no French popes since the XIVth century it has nothing to do with the revolution, as you said it is because Italian see = Itatlian Bishop

France used to have a shitload of cardinals relative to other countries, not so much anymore

Will there ever be an American (USA) pope?

There has been a Dutch pope.

Depending on who it was it could be great, but because of America's position in the world it probably won't happen.

A pope from Africa would unironically be fantastic since they're traditionalist don't dick around when it comes to being clear about church teachings.

Choose orthodox ways
Every country will get its own pope

Not necessarily, the patriarch of moscow has authority over most of the former russian empire and the patriarch of alexandria has authority over the entirety of africa for example

Also Patriarchs are supposed to represent geographic areas, not nationalities

Given that the US is predominantly Protestant, it's not as likely, but there are still a lot of people, so maybe.

>his country never made the Pope a puppet for its own gain
