American Pope Possibility and Vatican Preferences

Mini Story: Has There Ever Been an American Pope?

Father Michael O’Malley sipped his coffee as young Tommy, an eager altar server, burst into the rectory with wide eyes.

'Father Mike! I was reading about popes, and—wait—has there ever been an American pope?'

Father Mike chuckled. 'Well, Tommy, the short answer is no. All 266 popes have come from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Latin America. But...' He leaned in. 'There was almost an American pope!'

Tommy gasped. 'Really? Who?'

'Cardinal John O’Connor of New York was considered a long-shot candidate in the 1990s,' Father Mike explained. 'And Cardinal Raymond Burke, though born in America, holds dual citizenship with Italy. But the Vatican tends to favor non-superpower leaders to avoid political influence.'

Tommy frowned. 'So… no chance for an American pope?'

Father Mike grinned. 'Never say never! If God wills it, maybe one day—but for now, we’ll have to settle for baseball, Hollywood, and hamburgers.'

Tommy sighed. 'I guess we can’t have everything.'

The End.

(Fun fact: The closest the U.S. came was in 2013 when Cardinal Sean O’Malley of Boston received votes—but Pope Francis was elected instead!)
