“Why can't cardinals over age 80 vote? Pope Paul VI established this rule in 1970, partly to make it easier for non-Italians to succeed him. The policy also compels cardinals to offer their retirement at age 75; the pope can keep them in service or accept their resignations.” -NYT

P.s. I learned yesterday Cardinals age 80 and over can’t vote for the next pope. Maybe one of the world’s oldest institutions learned something there….

Love US Rep Jim McGovern and State Sen Jo Comerford. US Reps Moulton and Auchincloss have promise. Sen Markey is 100% showing his age face to face and should not run for reelection.
