Why do we accept the Pope's age but not McCain's?

Question

Catholics should vote for McCain in record numbers. He is younger than Pope Benedict.

Answer 1

This question is flawed.  We didn't vote on who would become pope, so who said anyone accepts his age other than the cardinals who elected him?

Many people don't even recognize him as the true Pope.  Ever heard of Vatican II?  

Personally, I don't even accept the catholic church, other than the fact that it has been responsible for the deaths of more people than any modern war has.

Answer 2

How many ICBMs does the Vatican have?

How much money flows through the Vatican's stock market?

People care a lot about these day-to-day concerns.

Answer 3

Eisenhower said that no man should be president over the age of 70... Yep.

Of course I must admit that Ron Paul and Mike Gravel are awesome! And they're both over the age of 70! But McCain has alot of health problems!

Answer 4

how can you compare the worst government in the world to the worst church in the world

...well i guess you can :D

Answer 5

that is kind of weird, i never really thought about that before.

but the Pope gets chosen by the cardinals, while the President (supposedly) gets elected by the public.

Answer 6

The pope isn't trying to run a whole country. He's just spreading God's Word.

Answer 7

Who said we accept the pope...
