As far as qualifications, The Pope can actually be almost any Catholic male, but is usually a cardinal. Since Pope Urban in 1378, no pope has been elected outside the College of Cardinals. The Pope is usually fluent in several languages. While Canon law isn’t all that specific about other qualifications, the Pope can actually be a cardinal, a bishop, priest, or even a layman. Any non-cardinal would have to immediately receive an “episcopal consecration” from the Dean of the College of Cardinals before becoming Pope.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
