I'm not as curious at to why they elect elderly people as I am over the fact that they stay in office until they die. The last couple of Popes were well past the being able to perform the duties of the office.
This guy is the first one in 500 years that is doing the right thing.
It doesn't bother me one way or the other. I gave up on the Catholic religion a long time ago. But I am very curious about why these guys stay there well beyond the point that they are able to function.
