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'.

Do you mean like 'a Pope is for life, not just for Christmas?'.

IIRC thats because a woman disguised herself as a man and became pope, now they have to get the boys out.

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.

Re: Pope Benedict Resigns

Re: Pope Benedict Resigns
Pope resigns just before casting for the new Star Wars film begins - coincidence?

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

Can't shake the niggling feeling that there's more to this announcement than we are being told
