The 85-year-old became Pope Benedict XVI in April 2005 following the death of Pope John Paul II.
Reports that Berlusconi has decided to stand are still to be confirmed The 85-year-old became Pope Benedict XVI in April 2005 following the death of Pope John Paul II.

Re: Wot no Pope
In his speech, Pope Benedict says: "After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry."
