He is stepping down on Feb 28th. Says he's not up to it. It must be a bad old world.

If I were the pope, Phil, catholicism would become a lot more fun. Congregations would go through the roof. ;D

7 years ago I believe, and at 78 then, one of the oldest elected Popes of the modern era.

85, frail, and rumoured to be suffering the onset of Alzheimers, he has taken a brave step in resigning.

I just hope he is allowed to go with the dignity he deserves, and the press don't "invent" some stories just to sell papers.

Ah, I must have been thinking of something else then.  :)

Personnally I don't give a freak.

I find the Catholic Church rather disturbing to be honest, will his resignation make choir boys any safer.

Don't want to sound like the fun police (I like a bit of a giggle like anyone else), but just remember for Catholics, some posts are probably bordering on the offensive.

Just be mindful.

According to the DT where it has been traditional for the Pope to be European, they are also looking outside of Europe, this time for the next one.
