Methinks it would probably be a good idea to hold another Papal convention, so we could narrow down the amount of Popes again, hopefully to two or three (Holy See and Catholic Europe).

Orrrr....... Yep, I'm back! Any one up for the old days were some of you considered my character, Pope Thomas Anquantais, the pope and my nation, Valtican City, the Holy See?

I don't get it... a Papal Convention... is this to determine nations with Popes?

To eliminate many of the different popes and file it down to one, two, or three.

How about convincing Catholic denominations in nations that have strayed from papal authority to come back to the fold?

There's a line of Popes based at a city called 'Nova Assisi', which forms an independent enclave within the lands of Bears Armed (but that I haven't yet set up as a separate NS nation in its own right): their form of 'Roman Catholicism' is only followed by a minority amongst this nation's Ursine population, but it is the only officially-accepted religion in their smaller neighbour Roumberre (http://www.nationstates.net/roumberre).
According to the back-story they split off like this in Medieval times, because neither of the two rival lines of Popes who were then based in Rome and Avignon would recognise the baptism of Ursines (let alone their ordination into the priesthood) as valid. Their first bishops were properly consecrated, by helpful [human] bishops with Franciscan origins, so that they did (and their modern heirs still do) have the 'apostolic succession' and therefore have valid sacraments.
