Reminder that Francis was the last pope of the Vatican II Generation
John Paul II was 42-45 years old when the Council was held and an archbishop at the end of it
Benedict XVI was 35-38, and already a priest.
Francis was 25-28, either in jesuit formation or a rookie priest.
Leo XIV was 7-10 years old at that time.
We're not at the time of a zoomer tradtwitter based 2002 born pope yet, but Leo shouldn't have the emotional link to Vatican II priests like Francis had, that generation is dying out. I hope this is the first step out of this nightmare.
