Re: Pope Benedict Resigns
If the College of Cardinals pray to God to help them make the right choice when voting for the next Pope, shouldn't the vote be unanimous?

You'd think so, but the Catholic church has a history of in fighting, and people putting personal agendas ahead of the religion. As a Catholic, this is an interesting time for me. I will be glued to live TV coverage tomorrow awaiting news.
Personally, I want a Pope who will publicly name and condemn all those priests who sexually abused children, and ditto nuns.

I believe that the will of God doesn't overrule free will and thus the Cardinals can be influenced by personal politics, bias or misinterpretation. At least I think that is the belief if you were a Catholic (I don't really know), I am an atheist just believe they do what they think they should without divine intervention.

Re: Pope Benedict Resigns
As long as it does take as long as it did in the 14th/15th century, it took 3 years.

How can you believe in the will of god if you're an atheist?

I think he means that he 'believes the reasoning to be so'.
