If true, that doesn’t bode well at all for the Catholic Church. All their potential Popes will be dead in 20-years.

John Paul 2 was 58. There has to be somebody in that age range who’s got his head on straight.

It could very well be that Francis was selected primarily because of his philosophy concerning the operation of the church-that is that he will pay particular attention to the areas that Benedict sort of dropped the ball on as well as his age.

The Cardinals may have had in mind a 5-10 year project window for Francis getting the church back on track and then, a new Pope.

Who knows?
