If Monk Malachi is correct, you can expect the next, final?, pope to be a strong Pope.

Sadly, I think the next one will be worse since Francis put in the leftist Cardinals.

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

As someone who was raised Catholic and confirmed in the church, Good Riddance to bad rubbish.

Did the Catholic Church learn anything from this debacle or is it jonesing for an even worse pick?

There is an old Roman saying that "a fat pope is followed by a skinny one." Over time, the Catholic Church tends to find its balance and way forward by trying opposites from one papacy to the next.
We can hope that the College of Cardinals will pick a new pope to remedy the lapses, follies, bad theology, and scandals of Pope Francis. And with the Vatican's finances chronically in chaos and deficit, it would seem wise to name a pope who appeals to wealthy conservative Catholics so often disrespected by Pope Francis.
