                      why not?
                      An older pope has more wisdom and knowledge in the Catholic doctrine than a younger one. Although it is best if he can consult the young generation as they can relate better to the relevant issues of the time.

                          Pope Benedict XVI is nearly 80 years old!!

                          I'd say elect a younger candidate, it's not like he won't be prepped by a team of holy advisors, similar to a president or prime minister.

                          I was actually pulling for a black pope, that would have been awesome

                                    Apparently Benedict XVI (Ratzinger) even though a rather conservative history, has supported the idea that Popes retire at 80. This gives the seat to push such a change through the Vatican, and gives them a few years to casually pick and groom the next successor. Ratzinger has actually been doing the day to day job of the Pope for a number of years because of John Paul II's bad health. It's a logical move for the Catholic church to initiate some changes for the future without being to liberal or conservative in the mean time.

                                            because he was a hitler youth

                                                The newly elected Pope Benedict XVI, who turned 78 on Saturday, will be expected to maintain John Paul II's deeply conservative line. He has railed against "greed" and "self-sufficiency" within the Roman Catholic Church and rejects any attempt to modernise.

                                                I hope the new pope gets assassinated

                                                          Did anyone check his background? Good lord it's a bad pick for a pope. He was actually in the Hitler Jugend (Or in english: Hitler Youth) and handled some anti-air gun thing during the war somewhere. http://www.theage.com.au/news/World/...854233152.html

                                                          In my opinion that's bad... no matter how old he was at that time.

                                                              They are always old....The pope that was elected before the most recent John Paul lasted under a month before he kicked it and then they elected john paul. He was considred pretty young when he was elected but was by no means a youngster himself....Just how it is...If they got some youth in there they might actually get some insight and move away from their bullshit views but that'd be too easy now wouldnt it?
