I'm curious why you say it makes him a terrible Pope. A lot of Catholics thinks he is great too. Some don't. It's all subjective really isn't it?

The Cardinals elect the Pope they want to set the direction of the Church. So, by definition he's the best Pope.

a pope is an emergent phenomenon produced by a given set of cardinal coordinates
