Think about it... it would be shrecking AWESOME. Al that money to do with as you saw fit. I could be a miltary pope and start the next crusade, and make W legit in Europe finally. I could abolish the deal with popes not being married, as a matter of fact, I would make it so I could have a harem! All the wine, think of the party house I could turn St Peters into! The keys to the vatican library. The pope mobile, driving in style

Basically, I can piss off whoever I wanted, and if they said anything, I'd make sure they do not go to heaven.
To top it all off, I could get to wear the Pope hat! WOOHOO, I can not think of a better reason not to be the Pope!
