"Controls," in the sense of overriding direction, no. Any given Pope cannot be regarded as a personal Holy Spirit "pick," --- except in the sense of the general superintendence of Providence, present also in the outcomes of U.S. presidential elections, marriage proposals, freshman algebra tests, and poker games.
We pray hard for Popes, before, during and after papal conclaves. The Lord's objective goodness towards His Church does not fail --- even though his permissive will (which permits our wills to be in play) has admitted mixed outcomes in our two millennium papal history since, and including, Peter.
