Universal?

I am told that I belong to a Universal Church.  I think that the College of Cardinals has not caught up to this Universal tag.  There are more Italian Cardinals than all the Cardinals of Africa and South America combined.  Many more Catholics live in Africa and South America than live in Italy.  Combine Italy with European Cardinals and the center of the Church is still Europe, by far.  The European churches are emptying out, but they have the Cardinals.  What do these Cardinals do when not electing popes?
