    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.

    Thanks, I couldn't recall any that resigned in a long while

    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?
