Do you really think that a 70-year old Cardinal would be selected as Pope?Age at Papal election:
St. Celestine V - 79.
Gregory XII - 78.
Callistus III - 77.
Paul IV - 79.
Gregory XIII - 70.
Innocent IX - 72.
Leo XI - 70.
Innocent X - 70.
Clement X - 79.
Blessed Innocent XI - 75.
Alexander VIII - 79.
Innocent XII - 76.
Benedict XIII - 75.
Clement XII - 78.
John XXIII - 77.
There's certainly some precedent.

Precedent, yes. I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm asking if you think it's likely.
