As a nearly complete atheist I'd like to see a pope come in and clean house and reboot the franchise. Open the books, take the moral high ground and have a clear mission statement based around clothing the needy and feeding the hungry.
The church is becoming a vestigial remnant of our primitive brains, time to make it an institution of tangible acts and less on moralities that people don't agree upon. Enforce the ten commandments and help people, simplify things and help the world because there are a lot of good people involved in the church. (obviously all just my opinion, but I was raised as a pretty strict Christian). If a new pope came in and started directing the Vatican's resources towards helping fix some of the worlds problems that would do a lot to clean the slate.
