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.

Well said. That's the point I was trying to make. They need to elect younger Popes...but then the Catholic Church is afraid of change and a younger guy will bring in too many new ideas and ways of thinking.
I, too, gave up on the Catholic religion almost 35 years ago.
