Well, whenever a politician or a CEO resigns for "health reasons", it's usually because he defrauded a lot of cash, or was caught fucking a young boy.

That being said, for a Pope, that's pretty much the job description.  :hmm:

Wow. This is indeed freaky.
Interesting that Lizzie 2 says she won't abdicate since her position is god given but the freaking pope is more than willing to do so....

I think Charles may be going now "Moooom, see? The Dutch Queen abdicated. The Pope abdicated. Come on, mooom."

Something like this I would imagine.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Perhaps he did it to pick is successor, or to retire and avoid the stress?

btw, a papal camillus...

Pope Celestine V
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Celestine_V

QuoteHe issued two other decrees: one confirmed an earlier decree of Pope Gregory X that ordered the shutting of the cardinals in a conclave to elect a new pope; the second declared the right of any pope to abdicate the papacy, a right that he himself exercised at the end of five months and eight days at Naples on 13 December 1294.

something tells me that this guy may not have wanted the job to begin with
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

He was old and frail when he became Pope so good for him.

Copied from the Bible! Ratzinger loses title of Pope!

I think it's time for a schwartz pope.

According to Austrian news, the only other pope to ever abdicate was Coelestin I in 1294.

Nope. 1415, Council of Constance, Gregory XII.

Wasn't he deposed (depoped?) by the council, along with the other two?

I suppose being the centralized collector for every official document and file of pedophile sex abuse cases since 2001 in the CDF wears at you after a while.

He agreed to the proposition to resign, because it was the only way to end the Schism.

John XXIII didn't agree, and pretended to be the "legitimate" Pope until he submitted to Martinus V in 1418.
