As far as becoming the Pope is concerned, sod off. I almost joined the priesthood 40 years ago, and I'm certain that there's an alternate quantum pocket out there where the me that made so many better decisions is just a few votes away from becoming Pope Boomhauer I. Give it to HIM.
I know you're joking, but you'd make a pretty acceptable Pope. While Francis tried, he let himself be stymied by the Vatican beuracracy. My plan would 1. file everyone running the Vatican bank and bring in finance experts from the non-profit sector to run things, and 2. take the Office for the Doctrine of Faith, aka the Inquisition, and direct them to ferret out every case of priestly sexual abuse. Then the guilty are given a choice: laicized and turned over to the civil authorities, or given a permanent place in a special monastery high in the frozen Himalayas.

Sounds like you and I have eerily similar agendas, my friend.
I apologize about Mr. Fielder on behalf of Canada, since he got his start here doing sketch comedy bits not unlike what he's doing now, but funnier.
It’s all good, David. I’m very pro-Canada to begin with, which is why I stuck the first season out. I have no one to blame but myself.
