Interesting - asked who the youngest pope was and apparently there was a lot of poor record keeping back then

Youngest pope was either John VII or Benedict IX

I predict that the next Pope will be an old white guy.

The first Pope to resign since the year 1415.

Most likely didn't want to end up going out like John Paul II, who looked liked he had died five years before he actually did.

No new pope until I get answers on Benghazi

What are the odds they try to modernize and pick a hip young pope

Someone in his 20's or 30's who is adept with modern technology

They already got the Pope a twitter account so they do seem to be delving into the modern technology, but will they be willing to have a younger leader take over? Or will it just be another old white guy?

They could at least pick an old black guy. Or an old hispanic guy.

Maybe he should've taken the name Celestine VI....if the next Pope takes the name Boniface he ought to worry.

Maybe this guy?

Is that a Dante reference?

You'd think he had a little more pull.

Fantastic. I'm stealing this.

I was just trying not to laugh at the horrible pun (so bad I'm passing it along):

"What does an ex-pope do in his free time once he's retired?
Go out and order some Ex-Benedict"

[Corcaigh]

I predict that the next Pope will be an old white Catholic guy.
