I hope the College of Cardinals isn’t imposing term limits by electing prelates already in their 70’s.

Some have said, “we elected a younger guy in 1978 and got twenty-seven years of John Paul II, good thing they were good years.”

Ha! Everyone (but the Holy Spirit and at least 77 cardinals) had him written off because of age. I think the choice, however, was superb (maybe there was no one younger that could do what needs to be done). Fasten your seat belt; this could be an interesting ride.:)
