I don't know about that. It would be too cruel of the catholic powers to do that. Time is not an issue here. As more time goes by new candidates with new or modified ideas will arise. So you see, time will only make things worse for those who hold traditions dearly. The plan should be to choose a traditional candidate that is not that old but not that young. And this candidate should live long.

I say they will do a complete physical exam on all the old candidates and then they'll end up choosing the healthiest.

I'd really like to see the Cardinal from Nigeria become Pope, if only to see some white Catholics jumping off bridges...that and the prospect of a white man bowing before a black man and kissing his hand
