“...May our next pope be young and vigorous and healthy and a real Catholic with an attitude...”

Amen. From your lips to God’s ears, as they say.

If one would permit me to add: real Catholic would mean unwaivering, firm and crystal clear in the traditional interpretation of doctrine. No post Vatican II ambiguity. We need a present day St. Augustine as our leader. Let us pray that the Lord will raise one up - maybe he will even be African like St. Augustine was.

St. Augustine ora pro nobis.

(I am not sure exactly why I just went on a St. Augustine promotional discourse just now because we are talking about Franciscans: so also St. Bonaventure: pray for us.

I second your definition of real Catholic. You are on a St. Augustine promotional discourse because the world needs to hear more about his contributions to Western Civilization and Christendom. Ditto St. Bonaventure. IIRC, Saint Pio of Pietrelcina was a member of a Franciscan order, as well and suffered greatly in silence under injustices imposed by CYA diocesan authorities.
