Indeed, that's also my feeling. The problem is that the Roman Catholic Church has to face several problems and bring in new ideas on how to solve those problems. I was expecting a much younger cardinal to get the nod considering how stressful Papacy is becoming.
I will not lie by saying that I was favoring my home province's Marc Ouellet. It's not only because he's from Quebec, but it's also because he's only 63 and because people thought after Benedict XVI that we'd have a Pope reigning for a longer stretch of time. At the very same time, I was also expecting Peter Turkson (age 64) from Ghana and Odilo Scherer (age 63) from Brazil to be excellent choices as well considering that both are quite moderate on several subjects.
