LOL - The criteria you suggested just sprung the idea in my head...
It's lame...but how's this. The Pick a Pope Contest...
Done in American-IDOL style --
Presented by FOX, the world over with an aim to bring catholic brothers and sisters togather in harmony and unit them in the bond of love. Oh, and to increase TV ratings and sell shampoo products and papal souveniers.
each papal candidate gets to do a little routine in vatican square. Reciting a passage from the Bible, singing a hymm, racing around the square in the pope mobile...well, maybe there's some time before the worlds ready for that last one...
Then Simon, the token black guy and paula give the world their comments -- Simon's rude and sarcastic cause he's not catholic. The token black guy doesn't want to get into trouble so he's just cool, and paula's gushing and crying while she proclaims how fabulous the new popes dress sense is...This is followed by Ryan Seacrest announcing to the world that they can dial in to 1-800-PICK-A-POPE and elect their favorite cardinal to become the next pope.
Dumb idea...sure...but how great would it be if someone like Chappelle developed it into a skit.

Does anyone else find it kind of weird that they chose a Pope who looks like he is just as old as the last Pope?
Wouldn't they want to choose someone a bit younger so that he would be able to be around longer?
just a thought... |

No, as I said, this is just a stop-gap pope. John Paul II is going to cast a HUGE shadow over this pope, so they picked someone who would continue his work.
The NEXT pope will be a younger one who will be able to put his stamp on things free(er) from JPII's shadow. |

Anyways....the meat of the matter: John Paul II was Pope #110. The Pope after him, #111 is Benedict XVI, so that's how they name him. Ratzinger is 78 years old, so it's believed that this guy is like an interim Pope of sorts. No one can see him lasting as long as John Paul II did. But read the part about the LAST POPE EVER: Pope #112, Peter II. After his pontificate (or maybe during his pontificate), all hell is supposed to break lose.
