What if the College of Cardinals decided to elect a man without that degree?

I heard there's an essay contest on "why I would be a good pope." Then the top 3 candidates have to perform a skit. I bet Benedict's parody of the first crusade was a hoot.

Cardinals Peter Turkson of Ghana and Fridolin Ambongo Besungo of DR Congo are among those likely to succeed Pope Francis.

My prediction is the new pope will be black. I think there’s a high ranking black cardinal from Africa.

I was interested in one of them being named, Peter.
In the Prophesies of the Popes, Peter the Roman is mentioned. The African Pope wouldn't be a Roman then.
"The Catholic Church has no official stance, although some Catholic theologians have dismissed it as forgery.[1][2] The prophecy concludes with a pope identified as "Peter the Roman", whose pontificate will allegedly precede the destruction of the city of Rome." -Source: Wikipedia-Prophesies of the Popes

And chances are he wouldn’t use his given name as his pope name
Not saying he couldn’t. But he is Roman Catholic, maybe that counts for Roman.

You would have to bi-pass their vows of poverty so that a priest could support a family.
diocesan priests do not take a vow of poverty
True, but you would be surprised at how low their pay is. They do (generally) get the benefit of not having to pay for housing and getting food & mileage allowances, but otherwise their pay is a pittance.
I was a bookkeeper in a parish for a while a little over a decade ago. We paid three priests about $18,000 a year (again, they had housing and some food reimbursement), as was standard in my Archdiocese.
