Actually, Pope Francis is less theologically reliable than almost any seminarian in any Catholic seminary in the world. IMHO. I'd assume they give TESTS in them seminaries to see if the students have been correctly catechized before they turn them loose on an unsuspecting world; right?
If so; does a papal candidate get tested likewise to see if HE has retained his earlier training before he gets voted on?
Or is it some kind of popularity contest?

Amen to all that Scripture, Bro. Every line of it, every jot and tittle.
Have a good Good Friday.

No, the cardinals in the conclave do not take a test. (Of course, it's also possible for a man to "know" doctrine, so as to be able to score on a test, but just doesn't believe it.)
It's been said that if a papal conclave were held today, Pope Francis wouldn't get 10 votes. The Cardinals have --- for distinctly diverse reasons --- "buyers' remorse".
Whether he can be outright deposed is another question. We all wonder.
Please join me in a pray for the triumph of Christ's truth.
