While the implications of the world where the Catholic Church doesn't have a Pope are interesting, that isn't the question I'm asking here
So, of all the Popes of the RCC (before 1900 of course), which Pope's death in an alternate reality would make the world the most "interesting," for better or for worse? For example, although this is After 1900, John Paul II's death before becoming Pope would have a profound impact on the world.
But besides any Pope during the twentieth century (if I included the 20th Century, everyone would be saying JPII), who's death in an alternate reality would have the most "interesting" effect on the world?
