Re: Pope Benedict Resigns

This seems like it could be quite upsetting for some as it seems you're not really meant to resign as Pope as it's 'for life'.

Extremely brave, I think, to admit he no longer feels up to the task. It has been nearly 600 years since a pope resigned, the peer pressure to stay until death must have been immense.

Father Jack or Dougal for the next pope who is up for a petition for this to happen?

Re: Pope Benedict Resigns

Pope resigns just before casting for the new Star Wars film begins - coincidence?

I feel a bit sorry for him to be honest. Perhaps he's right to stand down and let someone younger fulfil the role.
