Who would you like to see become Pope in the near future?

Well, my faith already has an equivalent to a Pope, so....

Seriously though, someone who could be a continuation of Pope Francis's style would be great. Who's the closest to that?

Preferably someone who would convert to Protestantism after taking office.

Disgusting. I don't try to ruin your culture (or lack thereof). Go back to your fear mongering. Let us be.

There are many things I honor and respect about the Roman Catholic Church. It's disappointing that they chose the sword rather than honest discussion with those in the church who had a legitimate theological concern to address (Waldensians, Hussites, Moravians, Jansenists)

Okay, but what does that have to do with saying that your preferred Pope would be Protestant?

Honestly, I don't get why many of the posters in this thread are saying the Pope should be Protestant. I don't think the Pope should be Mormon, for example. And a Catholic or Lutheran shouldn't expect their preferred choice for LDS Church President to convert to Catholicism or Lutheranism. It's just rude to expect that the guy whose job is to represent over a billion Catholics, to be non-Catholic.

I realize this thread is old, but my two cents as a Mormon non-Catholic are that I think Francis is doing a great job, and that I hope he lives and is healthy for as long as possible. I do think the pendulum will shift the other way when he dies.
