Thank you for this informative article. When Pope Francis appoints Europeans to lead African or Asian sees and then names then cardinals (e.g., Cardinal López Romero, Cardinals-designate Mathieu and Vesco), do you classify them as European cardinals, or as African or Asian cardinals?

Since in this piece I'm primarily talking about what sees are represented by a cardinal, in a situation such as the bishop of Tehran being a priest born in Belgium, I'm counting the see as being in the Middle East/Asia/Pacific rather than looking at the cardinal's birthplace.

Great question. I was also looking for data points on whether the cardinals are laden or unladen? One must know these things when one is pope.
What does it mean?
Haha!
