Pope Francis

Some news reports say current Pope Francis may be thinking of retiring soon due to various health issues. He is now 85. His predecessor, Pope Benedict, is still living at age 93. Perhaps the next Pope chosen should be a lot younger what with all the duties and traveling that is expected of a Pope.
