    He says he is old and tired.


    LONDON — Recognizing what he described as his failing strength of “mind and body,” Pope Benedict XVI announced Monday that he would step down as head of the Catholic church, the first pontiff to give up his duties since 1415.

    “After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry,” Benedict said in a statement.

    It would make more sense that Popes always do this.

    "During his time in office he has ordained so many conservative cardinals, that amongst them is hardly a single person to be found who could lead the church out of its multifaceted crisis."

    This is just wrong. How can a man of faith leave the post given to him by his God?

    Maybe God is telling him to step down? *shrug* if anybody has a handle on what God wants, you would think it would be the Pope...

    Anyways, I will miss ol' Palpatine...

    There's no politics in the Vatican?

    raping kids for centuries and shielding priests isn't political?

    imposing Catholic morals on non-Catholic employees isn't political?

    Good riddance. I have no good expectations about a successor. Ever since Pope John XXIII, every pope since then has been rushing headlong toward the 12th Century. This Church has not even a shred of moral authority anymore, imo.

    It could just be pure coincidence but the timing of this being only a week or so after that Mea Maxima Culpa (which I had to turn off halfway through because of how disgusting it was hearing about deaf kids getting molested) do entary came out raises a few eyebrows, especially with the amount of blame that movie points at the vatican.

    EDIT: Just realized it was in theatres for awhile but its premier on HBO was last week.
