Re: Pope Benedict announces his resignation
well it's the first time in 600 years a pope has resigned
they are meant to be the word of God and die in the job before a new one is elected... it's a pretty major event in Catholicism...

Re: Pope Benedict announces his resignation
My first thought that there must be a major scandal about to go public.
or maybe he just wants to spend more time with his family?

It's been a rough winter, he may have been feeling a bit Parkie.
