Maybe, I haven't been following it as closely as to who's saying what. I'm guessing he's in decent health, or as much as you can be for a 78 year old.
I'm happy they picked someone so fast, but very disappointed in that the church doesn't seem to want to make any changes. They're losing young people right and left. And refusing to keep with the times will always hurt an organization in the long run.
