Who to choose, who to choose?

yeah I saw Conclave trend on X too

The Vatican appoints these Popes when they're in their mid 60's & then works them to death. By the time they pass away, they have no idea what they're doing or going on. After that, they just do what they're told what to do. They should appoint them in their mid 40's when they're young & vibrant. Then have them retire at 65-70. To me, it is a form of elder abuse that has been allowed to continue for a thousand years. However, I guess it's a calling (for death).

He was 58. By the time he was in his 70's the schedule was killing him. They should (but don't) have a retirement escape. Keep the position young.

He did the smart thing & actually resigned due to health reasons but he was 85 when he left. Benedict did receive widespread condemnation for doing so. It just isn't done & Pope Francis stayed on to the end.

If anyone here is Catholic & is interested to see the inner workings of the Catholic Church how they choose a Pope thn you should watch The Shoes Of The Fisherman from 1968 starring Anthony Quinn. From all I've read the politics behind choosing a Pope is accurate even if the political intrigue in the main plot isn't. I've seen TSOTF twice & I'm not Catholic.
