text: ATF...according to an NCR article the cardinals break out "The current geographic breakdown of voting members of the College of Cardinals:
  
  Europe: 54
  Latin America: 16
  North America: 15 (11 from the United States and four from Canada)
  Africa: 12
  Asia: 11
  Middle East: 2
  Caribbean: 1
  Oceania:"
  
  Thusly....and I kind of think that the US represents about 7% of the world's Catholic pop and already has a fair share of cardinals....I d guess that Francis will be looking to fill up some of the vast empty spaces without cardinals.
