  1. Again why vote in someone to lead something when they are so old in the first place, no fortune 500 company would hire a CEO in their 70’s.

    Yet popes and other leaders of countries are voted in!

    I’m not religious but they need a young Pope who is modern and they need to let priests marry, be in relationships etc, being celibate ones whole life isn’t normal

  2. Looking forward to the reverential and sanitised assessment of this individual’s contribution to humanity from our national broadcaster.

  3. Benedict rightly gets a lot of flack, but the likes of John Paul II (who actually oversaw and probably helped the abuse carry on) tend to get less.

    The best thing that can be said about Benedict is that he resigned. That’s more than his predecessors did.
