Who was the first Pope of the US?

What did pope Pius IX want catholic to do?
Blessed Pope Pius IX was the longest reigning pope in history, after St. Peter, he reigned for the better part of 32 years (31 years, seven months, 23 days). As he was pope for so very long, and so many great changes happened during his watch including the First Vatican Council, and the lost of the papal states, not to mention the rise of Modernism, your question is kind of broad and would have to be narrowed down radically to get a meaningful answer.

Why can't women become a pope?
While the priesthood isn't technically speaking a requirement for the papacy, it is a long-standing tradition that the pope is chosen from amongst the Cardinals. The requirements for being pope are to be a baptized Catholic male over 18 years of age. So I'm afraid 15 year-old Buddhist girls won't be elected.
The popes are always old men, so they usually are 70 or 80 years old.

How did the Peace of Westphalia affect the pope?
Historians generally agree that the Peace of Westphalia weakened the Holy Roman Empire and strengthened the various princes. Moreover, the Netherlands and Switzerland were removed from the Empire. It is sometimes said, especially by some political theorists in the U.S., that the modern concept of sovereignty arose from the Peace, but this an exaggeration and simplification.
Why Peter not Paul the first pope?
A:
Other religions and even other Christian denominations are unconcerned whether Saint Peter was the first pope, leaving that as an internal matter for the Catholic Church itself. However, scholars are concerned to establish what really happened. Francis A. Sullivan SJ (From Apostles to Bishops) says that there is a general agreement among scholars, including Catholic scholars, that the church of Rome was led by a council of presbyters until well into the second century, with no evidence of a ruling bishop. This alone is circumstantial evidence that Peter was not the first bishop of Rome, as any precedent he set as sole, monarchical bishop of the city, could be expected to be followed by the church of Rome after his death. Moreover, the author of 1 Clement, writing from Rome a few decades later, seems unaware that Peter had ever been to Rome although he wrote in general terms about Peter's suffering and death: "There was Peter who by reason of unrighteous jealousy endured not one not one but many labours, and thus having borne his testimony went to his appointed place of glory." On the most objective evidence we have, Peter probably never led the church of Rome.
Who was the pope immediately after Pope John XXIII?
Pope Paul VI was elected pope after the death of Pope John XXIII.
What was Pope John Paul famous for?
A:
In some ways, Pope John Paul II opened the Catholic Church to the outside world. He was the first pope to leave Italy since 1809, and the first to visit the Americas, Africa, Oceania and Asia as pope. So one of his legacies is that the Vatican would become less insular in its view of the world. He apologised for some of the past wrongs committed by the Catholic Church, once again making the Church a little less defensive in protecting its version of history.
His legacy must also include his failure to reform the Church. Pope John Paul II became pope when the two great evils of clerical paedophilia and systemic corruption within the Catholic Church were becoming known. He had the responsibility to lead the Church out of this mire, but ultimately he failed.
John Paul II has been criticised for not recognising the full severity of the sex abuse cases until they erupted in America in 2002. It is said that he hindered the investigation into the charges of sexual immorality levelled against Father Marcial Maciel Degollado and allowed bishops to transfer paedophile priests from one parish to another instead of reporting their crimes to the authorities. John Paul is also accused of hindering Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger who allegedly was attempting to prevent sex abuse.
Systemic corruption and financial malpractice were being identified at the highest levels within the Vatican, but far from showing leadership in dealing with these matters, he turned a blind eye.
What is the Pope's cathedral church called?
The pope does not live in a 'palace.' He normally lives in the Papal Apartments on St. Peter's Square and they are fairly simple in their furnishings. The apartments are in the Apostolic Palace. However, Pope Francis has chosen to stay in a simple apartment in the Casa Santa Marta, a hospice in the Vatican meant to house cardinals during a conclave or for the use of dignitaries visiting on official business.
