:The Vatican felt they needed to shore up South/Latin America where evangelicalism/pentecostalism is growing fast in many countries. A European Catholic would be a bad choice since Catholicism is on the decline there. So that leaves Asia or Latin/South America or Africa. Ultimately, fear of loss in Latin/South America was stronger than hope of gain in Africa.
:The Vatican felt they needed to shore up South/Latin America where evangelicalism/pentecostalism is growing fast in many countries. A European Catholic would be a bad choice since Catholicism is on the decline there. So that leaves Asia or Latin/South America or Africa or North America (which is influenced by Latin/South America due to immigration). Ultimately, fear of loss in Latin/South America was stronger than hope of gain in Africa.
:Lastly, although there are some more conservative (free market) economies in Latin/South America, most of the countries tilt to the left. Hence, Catholicism wound up with a liberal pope. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 21:23, 28 September 2015 (EDT)
