Why is the Pope always so bloody old....

[schmalex]

Really, he was put into his role when he was about 78 or something crazy. Surely the Catholic church would get a much better ROI & wider target audience if they put in a 30 something year old "Pope LITE"

Am still waiting for Simon Cowells "Pope Idol".

[Neil_H]

You know it hasn't always been the same guy, they change him when one dies.

[mechsympathy]

Being that sanctimonious takes experience.

[KingRichard]

How can you have a 30 year old pope? It's not a marketing gimmick, it's the head of the catholic church



'Who's the pope, Ted?'

[Eric Mc]

The last chap was relatively young when he got the job.

[stifler]

It's not really a very good career move, is it.

Unpaid, and you work 'til you die.

I'd pass it on, if it was me.

[Hedders]

If the pope was so important to religion, why does god kill them?

[squirrel2007]

I think it's so that they don't get lumbered with a duff pope for too long.

If only the FIA used the same method!!

And the first gay Pope! (When was that I wonder!!LOLOLOL)

[Eric Mc]
