Been listening to some of the stuff around this conclave and there has been some focus on women. There is one guy within the 133 cardinals who would go about change, but didn't catch his name - I think the problem would be, that some cardinals would then vote against him bearing that in mind. I'd like to have a younger pope, one that would consider change. If it's such an obstacle they could go for an older pope, which means they would be in power less time, as nature takes its course....then at the same time some of the other older ones would also pop their clogs... making way for some younger more modern way of doing things.
All I keep thinking, seeing all the crowds, is how much money all the businesses must be making there. They need an ice cream or drinks vendor in the square.
