Title: BREAKING NEWS!-Pope resigns
Post by: Strawboss on February 11, 2013, 09:16:17 AM
I'm Lutheran, Missouri Synod, so I don't know much about these things, but I'm fairly certain that something that hasn't happened in 600 years seems pretty important to a lot of folks in the world. I'm not being flippant or disrespectful, but how does this happen? What do you think he'll do, I mean, in 600 years, there haven't been any living ex-popes. Will this cause a power problem within the church, will he be consulted on certain matters, and will his opinion bear weight? Questions I think many may ask. This is a big deal I think.

I believe he should be commended for admitting his failing health, and unable to fully honor his duties. In these
challenging times for the Catholic church, their leader needs to be strong and vigilant towards the repairs of grandeur
that the few have caused.

It's not even biblical. It's only since about the 16th century.

Why am I now picturing him being hired on to some news organization and showing up as a "talking head" on the nightly news.   :rotflmao:

(I don't really think he would do that, it's just a funny mental image.  "Good evening, and welcome to MSNBC's Straight Dope with the Pope.")

This happened for a reason, and now something wicked this way comes.
