I say this is nuts and none of them should be considered for such a thing.

Surely there must be someone alive today that you wouldn't mind seeing as the next pope..

Nope, none that I know of.

That is not a good response.

Two thoughts enter my head:

1. This man has an exaggerated idea of how perfect a pope needs to be. No man on earth is good enough for his daughter, as it were.

2. It evokes what I've heard from various Home Aloners -- "There might be a valid, good priest out there -- but I haven't met one yet."

I don't see how #2 wouldn't apply to you, being as you basically said there's no priest alive you believe would do a good job at the office. If you had any priest you went to for Mass every Sunday, you'd at least suggest HIM for the office.

You're one of those "there aren't any good guys" home aloners, aren't you.

It's got nothing to do with perfection. My reason is that, even if you disagree with me of course, I don't believe any of the clergy around today have been properly trained in the way those of the past were trained, in proper seminaries, whether SSPX, SV, or otherwise, and, again, even if you will of course disagree with me, they all have one error or another or a position the Church never taught nor adopted so I don't see how making any of them Pope will be anything but disastrous.

Example: Bishop Williamson supports the "Poem of the man-God", a manifestly bad thing. Now imagine if he were Pope. What if he were to give world-wide approval to that thing and declare it legitimate?

This is just what I think. I'm not dogmatic about it. And I have never met a traditional priest because I live in a country where there are zero traditionalists, which is why I have never been to a Latin Mass either.

Being home alone is not a choice, but my reality at the moment and it has been during all my life.
