This is what those in Rome think :

“Pope Francis repeated ‘closed door’ policy on women’s ordination was painfully incongruous with his otherwise pastoral nature, and for many, a betrayal of the synodal, listening church he championed,” the conference said. “This made him a complicated, frustrating, and sometimes heartbreaking figure for many women.”

So NO.

You don't have to be a cardinal to be the Pope

This is a Catholic question for people of the Catholic sect of Christianity to determine based on their understanding of their theology. It is not a question for "the world" as your colonial mind-set suggested.

Frankly, "the world's" non Catholics couldn't care less about Catholic theology in selecting their chief spiritual leader. I do wish them lots of luck.

Aren’t you in suggesting this, promoting ideas against meritocracy? Some folks advocate for a female England manager when the pyramid doesn’t even have women managers in lil league.
