Popes in the History of the US

Pope John Paul II was the 15th Pope to die since the United States declared its independence. Over the 229 years the US has been around, only 1 president was in office for the death of more than 1 Pope: Jimmy Carter. That's right, the man only served for 4 years and yet managed to see 2 Popes die. . . Jimmy Carter, history's greatest monster.
