There will not be another Pope, at least as we understand it. Before Chicago-Peru-Burger Pope dies, revolution will have swept the globe. The intense revolutionary fervor in majority Catholic countries will create a revolution internal to the Church. This will leverage the period of medieval Church history where the Pope was sidelined to a council of bishops who acted as the collective executive of the Church to advocate for the abolition of the Pope’s supreme leadership and a return to his role as an important bishop and patriarch of the Church. This will facilitate re-communion with the Orthodox Churches (the theological filioque stuff is just superstructure over the base of power distribution).
The Church is an immortal institution and will adapt to new political realities. As hierarchical political economy is torn down, it will experience its revolution and transformation into something that fits the socialist transition to communism. By the end of the 21st century, we will have a socialist Catholic Church that contributes productively to the new world and fits the biblical vision of the Church as depicted in Acts.
If we get a third cool pope I’m rejoining the team. Would love a Poochie style pope
