1978 actually. See Pope John Paul II becaame Pope because the one before him died 1 month after becoming Pope so the Vatican thought it be better to get a guy who wouldn't die right away. Well now because John Paull II lived so long now they are going back the other way. I think the church wants people to worship GOD not the Pope. There have been Popes for almost 2000 year and John Paul II had the 3rd longest term.
Plus you never know considering the Pope proably get some of the best health care around he may live to be 90 or 100.
