Too long.
Well, traditionally, not very long, because it's a post for old men, and it's for life. There have been a few young men elected pope, but that's the exception. (At 60, John Paul II was considered young to hold the position).
But thanks to advances in medicine, people live a lot older now, so that a Pope elected at 70 can still influence a Church for way past a decade, maybe even two if he's in particularly good health.
usually until they die.this is the first pope to leave office before their death in 700 years.
until bob woodward exposes their secrets
They are SUPPOSED to serve until they die. Although, this one thought he should just quit when he got sick. -_____-
till they die.
till they die, period.
