Good article. But it is a sad situation when one must reference events that happened 600+ years ago when talking about removing a bad pope.
In 1970 Pope St. Paul VI wisely established that cardinals aged 80 and over cannot participate in the process of electing a new pope. It’s just a shame that no such age limit was established for the pope himself.
At 79, you’re the pope.
At 80, you’re the pope emeritus.

Paul VI never did anything wise.
In 1970, most of the cardinals over 80 were against his radical reforms and VC II.

But that's where we are. Two-thirds of the cardinals voted for this guy. The whole Church stinks. I think it's at its lowest point since the counter-reformation.
