The College of Cardinals would still be a true pope's inferior.  A "reigning pope" would mean we had better get a Catholic as pope when Francis dies or resigns.....but who will vote him in?
Isn't that a bit of a problem for some sedevacantist positions? As far as I know all the current cardinals were appointed by JP2, B16 or F. I think there is only one cardinal appointed by Paul VI still alive, Benedict. For those who think none of these could legitimately appoint a cardinal, what would they think happens?

My point was an issue we ALL have:  how does one get a reigning Catholic pope when the Cardinals are Vatican II religionists?

Perhaps they get inspired to try someone different? Perhaps the person they choose goes in an unexpected direction?
Shouldn't we be confident God will work it out somehow? I've seen often enough that even when a priest doesn't really have the best intentions, somehow God can still achieve some good out of it.

Yes miracles can happen.
