It may come as a shock to you, but we are deliberately excluding Jorge Bergoglio - "Pope Francis" - from the list of nominees. The reason is that we have a policy of excluding the currently-reigning papal pretender on the simple grounds that he is obviously the most influential threat to Catholicism and so would naturally win the poll every year. At the same time, in March of 2014, in "honor" of Francis' first anniversary, we will have a special poll about the most outlandish thing Bergoglio has said in his first year in office, and all are welcome to participate in that poll as well.
