There is a saying, enter a conclave as pope leave as a cardinal. While the report may be true I wouldn’t read much into it

After two transitional popes a long stay would be welcomed. Also someone closer to the traditions of the church. I would take him for sure.

As a Catholic I agree.
John Paul II was 58 when he became pope and served for 27 years. That would be welcome if he Pizzabella does indeed become the next in line from St.Peter.

The Vatican's Secretary of State during the Papacy of John Paul II was Cardinal Casaroli. He was well baked into the Vatican bureaucracy. But he was very good at taking the heat for the Pope on many issues.

The link in OP might just be political wishcasting. I'm seeing Luis Tagle and Pietro Parolin as the favorites ahead of Pizzaballa.
The history of sexual abuse deserves the condemnation it gets. I've definitely taken shots at it over the years. But there are other ways to look at it. In my view, from the outside of Catholicism, I do see more depth and sacredness among the most devout compared to other denominations. That's just my view, but I actually do admire some of it in a sense.
There's a long history of vows of chastity among the most notable figures in Catholicism. So it seems others have attempted to follow in those footsteps. But maybe that's not the life for some percentage of these people. Or maybe there are actually benefits to having a sexual life for some period of time, then taking a vow for religion/spirituality, a la St. Augustine.
