Its got to be both physically and mentally exhausting for anyone, let alone a man of that age.

So will the Pope, by then former Pope, be a member of the conclave? I seem to remember that there is an age limit though. Any canonical scholars out there?

Just reading about possible successors, I don’t like the idea of an “affirmative action” pick; HOWEVER, it actually seems like some of the African cardinals are maybe more “conservative” than the euros. i.e. Peter Turkson or Arinze compared to Scola. And with Africa kind of an Islam vs. Christianity battleground right now...
