Personally I don't have any use for cardinals or popes, so I don't much care whom they elect. I think we've all been so indoctrinated to see the hierarchical model as necessary to our ecclesiology, we consider such questions relevant to the gospel, though they quite clearly are not. I think the gospels clearly presuppose a communal model instead of a hierarchical one, so I hope they lock them all up in the next conclave and lose the key.  The idea of re-electing the same guys who have no solutions to the church's problems seems a little dumb, don't you think?
