he's 78 years old and might last 6 to 7 years at best. why would they make him pope is beyond me.

Looks to me as the division between Conservatives and Liberals is deeper than what initially foreseen.....while wishing long life to Pope Benedict XVI, it his apparent that his Papacy will not be amongst the longest ones, nowhere near the length of John Paul II.......this might give sufficient time to the opposite factions within Cardinals to bridge to a more stable and longer Papacy in the future.

this has to be a money and power type thing right now with all that is going on with these priests molesting all those kids from years back. whatever the motive was behind it. it's total B.S. imhoo
