That is an example of a cardinal who is in his 60’s, this is why I put for a cardinal in 50-60’s age range, not way too old, someone who could hand major trips to far-flung Catholic communites plus be tech savvy in this age of social media.

I personally agree but, by my count, only five of the top 45 oddsmaker-listed papabili are under 65. (Granted, you said "50-60s," not stopping at 65 like I did.) And two of those four are Americans (Dolan of NYC and Burke of St.Louis) generally thought to be no better than 50-to-1 shots. The other three are Ghanaian Cardinal Turkson, Quebec Cardinal Ouellet and youngster Cardinal Tagle of the Philippines.
