Texsox Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 There is a concern with choosing someone too young and having them serve for three decades or longer. If they go outside Europe, I believe they will go older to shorten the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptatc Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 QUOTE (Tex @ Feb 11, 2013 -> 03:10 PM) One of the leading canddates is from Africa. What happens more times than not is the leading candidate has both strong support and equally strong detractors, leaving a path for the guy who is the 2nd choice but without much "baggage". Like SS2k5 I enjoy the pomp and circumstances and ancient ritual that lead to the choice. I enjoy it also. I'm predicting one from Africa based on Africa having the greatest growing Catholic population in the world. With the way America is going toward religion, they've lost the foothold here and will look toward that area of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmteam Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Here's an interesting bit of language stuff for you that I learned today: Apparently "resign" is a poor translation of the Latin, and "renounce" is the more appropriate word. Makes sense, since "resign" implies you're accountable to a person/entity above you (an earthly entity). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
