If a particular pope influences your decision to become Catholic, in either direction, then you are probably missing the larger point that Catholicism is not merely a Christian sect with a pope.
We have had good popes and bad popes, and which ones are which is a matter of each person's personal opinion. We have survived them all because the Catholic Church is guided by the Holy Spirit, with its mysterious ways.
The Holy Spirit has its own reasons for influencing the election of one or the other. We shall see, what it brings us next.
