    I doubt that the Catholic Church is big enough in the US for them to have that much of an influence on who the next pope is. There hasn’t ever been a pope from the US.

      Boom! There’s the hook. The Catholic church is HUGE in America, the fourth highest Catholic population in the world, behind Brazil, Mexico, and Phillipines, and ahead of countries like Italy, Spain, France and Argentina, all of whom have contributed Popes.

      Expect the MAGA Nazis to demand that the next Pope be an American of their choice, with all sorts of threats to follow, including removing their tax-exempt status.
