If the title of this topic makes you uneasy at all, you have something to learn.

According to the SSPX website, we can pray for the pope's “objective intentions” as opposed to “personal, subjective intentions”

The six objective intentions of the Holy Father, traditionally understood, are: the exaltation of the Church, the propagation of the Faith, the extirpation of heresy, the conversion of sinners, concord between Christian princes, and the further welfare of the Christian people.

Of course we should pray for the general intentions of the Pope as defined by the Church. But I would never pray for Bergoglio's actual intentions. I think that would be a sin because he is an enemy of God.

I pray for the intentions of teh Holy Father. I give my prayers to the Holy Virgin and I ask her that she make use of them inthe way that gives the greatest glory to God.

In these times, it would be wise for all of us to spend more time in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Or kneeling in prayer in front of a statue of Our Lady. Pray for the Church and pray for priests.

We could pray for his conversion to the Catholic Religion, then he might actually have the correct intentions.
