he will take the name pope francis I.

don't know much about the guy...nothing, really. out of all the cardinals up for the job, i hadn't gotten to his bio yet. about all i know is he's from argentina and he has only one lung. i'm disappointed they didn't go with a younger guy (he's 76). i had the live "smoke cam" up all morning on my computer at work, and i missed the white smoke while i was at lunch. d'oh!

Like a guy in his 40's or 50's, as opposed to those who are so old, they won't be Pope for any long period of time.

i assume it's because it takes a long time to climb the ladder in the church - once you get to be a cardinal, you are already middle aged or getting past it. then you have to take into account how long you'd have to wait to be eligible to be voted in as pope. i was hoping for a younger guy too, but pope francis has good buzz so far.
