My point was to arista that no way is a Cardinal too young at 60.
Plus anyhow Pope John Paul 1 was only 65 when elected and died.
They could easily again go for a younger Pope.
However no one really knows what is in the minds of the Cardinals who will decide this.
No Cardinals over 80 in the church are allowed to vote.
The World is a mess, it looks like getting more extreme and getting worse.
This is a very important choice at this time.
Personally I'd like a choice like the late Pope Francis but someone who'd look to extend and carry on stronger his thinking.
Life is teaching me, my choices though rarely come to fruition.
