Age record edit

Benedict had the longest lifespan among popes in nearly 800 years. This needs to be mentioned. --95.24.68.78 (talk) 21:48, 12 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

That's assuming we're including time as a former pope. GoodDay (talk) 22:17, 12 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Missing alternate perspectives including controversies which can be found with most public figures. Interesting that was left out. edit

Namely the critiques in how sexual abuse cases were handled, acknowledged by him or even the alleged accusations. This article is biased. 71.17.81.187 (talk) 14:27, 8 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
