I agree that his age was a factor in his judgment. Also, the fact that he was elevated by JPII helps immensely. But I object to the absolute lack of discussion on the issue. If you bring it up, you're a troll!
Well... we certainly seem to be fulfilling St. Malachy's prophecies. Why the rush toward judgement day?
correction... if you bring it up HERE TODAY during the CELEBRATION OF HIS ELECTION, it won't be tolerated. i am sure this discussion will go on in future. not the time nor the place.
If you don't like it here, then be gone.
