The Pope is the head of the Roman Catholic Church. Typically the Dope the Pope is an old man past normal retirement age. That means in most companies a man as old as the Pope would not be considered old and wise. He would be considered too old to do the job.
The popes and hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church are increasingly traditional and out of touch with the modern world. They don't try to reform, rather they blame the modern world for being out of touch with God.
As of 10th March 2013 we don't yet know who the new pope will be but he will almost certainly be a conservative because Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI packed the college of cardinals with conservatives like themselves. [1]
