    He's 78 FFS, do you think they like all the publicity electing a new
    pope brings and want to do it again some time soon?

    And why do they change their name upon becoming pope?

    It was a tradition started by John II, in the 6th century, who was named
    Mercurius, after the Roman god Mercury. It was felt that the head of the
    Church couldn't really have such a pagan name.

    Marcellus II in the 16th Century was the last pope not to adopt

    If you were called Ratzinger, you'd change your name too.
