I know what you mean! You'd say God would take better care of the pope.
And to the others: what stress?

For the same reason that Bill Clinton turned prematurely grey. Stress will age a person. And a person trying to fill the shoes of the Pope would have a LOT of stress.

the in straight forward words problem I truly have with that is the actual undeniable actuality that once the apostles were being killed off they did no longer have time to regather and employ new apostles, to take their position. Linus change into not in any respect nor might want to not in any respect be appointed to the apostleship. the total residing quorum might want to might want to assemble and "solid plenty" on who the subsequent might want to be - unanimously at that. Then he might want to were on the bottom of seniority. John the loved/Revelator hasn't ever died, so their isn't any way that the Apostleship might want to were given to Linus. it really is is likewise very obtrusive that the Catholic church isn't the genuine church through quite a few biblical obviosities. So its priesthood is apostate and unfaithful. Making any branch off of it also unfounded on the Rock. Proving that there's no church on the face of the earth which has any authority to do the bidding of God until eventually for sure the "Mormons" are top and Joseph Smith stated Jesus Christ and God the daddy, had Peter, James, and John supply him the priesthood and then restarted the unique Church of Jesus Christ back. The Rock is Jesus Christ and no human being else. Revelation is the mind-set of the church homes governance. Altho the pope has a better ideal leg to face on then the different Christian faith.

I think that goes for anyone who sits in an office of power. It's very stressful. Look at GW Bush and Clinton. When they came into office they had dark hair and a youthful appearance. Now they both have grey hair and look old and haggard.

They don't choose young priests to be pope. They have to have been ordained for many years before they can even become a Cardinal.

He was kind of old when he got there, and it's a pretty stressful job.
