List of cardinals seems a touch one sided for anything else...
Do they even allow women to be priests yet or are they still trying to make medievalism great again?

Fun fact: Of the 252 cardinals in the Catholic Church, only 135 are eligible to take part in the Conclave. The sole criteria of eligibility are A: they're currently active cardinals, B: They're under 80. 

Of the 135 eligible cardinals, only 33 are under 65. The youngest is 45.

Takes time to drink enough kool-aid to make it to Cardinal.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

So of the 135 voters, only about 25% are younger than 65?

Good luck with that keeping on, then.

So, what you're saying is that someone should sneak into their conclave and pop a really loud balloon suddenly?

Sort of like Fireball said, becoming a cardinal takes time and a LOT of moving through the politics of the Church just so you can end up on the Vatican’s radar.

Reuters published an article listing the seven most likely cardinals to succeed Francis. The youngest is 66.

So young and spritely in comparison with the regular churchgoers then...
