    What are the chances that the Cardinals protest vote two elections in a row and they accidentally elect a decent man again? Can you imagine back to back decent Popes? Not sure if it’s happened in my lifetime.

      Most of the current Cardinals who are eligible to vote were chosen by Pope Francis, so I think it is likely that the next Pope will be one willing to continue the path taken by Francis. But I don’t want to be too optimistic.
