Pope to resign?
Well... as far as I know, this makes history. I don't know of any previous pope who has (willingly) quit the job.

Movification & mergification complete. Quicker than you can see "The pope has resigned"

Re: Pope to resign?
I did exactly the same thing (mind-checked the date). So, it hasn't happened since 1415, then? Muy interesante.klr wrote:Checks the date ... not April 1st.

Perhaps he's about to come out?

Is the incoming pope going to give him a pardon for any-and-all?

Or perhaps there's about to be a revelation (not the biblical kind) about his involvement in the kiddie-fiddling priest scandal (that involves him deeper than previously known)? Regardless of the reasons why, we're living in interesting times.

Something in his past? Maybe he was a Nazi or something? 

What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

Re: Pope To Resign?
Isn't there already outstanding allegations that he covered up kiddy fiddling?
