Best Answer

You do not apply to become Pope. You are elected by Papal Conclave after the death of the incumbent Pope. While any baptized male Catholic can be made Pope, usually he is selected from the College of Cardinals, although there was a Pope who was an Arch-Bishop before his election. That was the lowest rank ever.
