I understand why they skew old. I'm just pointing out that @Mr Greene's wish for the Church to grow into modern times seems less likely for the demographics you mentioned.

It was @BrianSoddingBoru4 who was wishing for "not a geezer". 
Of the candidates I've seen 'progressive' seems to translate as "not wanting to criminalise same sex relationships" and goes downhill from there...

But the Conclave isn’t required to choose the next pontiff from among its members. They aren’t even required to choose any cardinal, or even a priest - they always do, but there’s nothing which says they have to. For example, Aaron Taylor-Johnson meets all the requirements.

If they’d drop the ‘must be male’ requirement, we’d have shot at Pope Saoirse Ronan.
