Pope to resign?

Post by Red Celt » Mon Feb 11, 2013 11:07 am

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

Checks the date ... not April 1st. :shock:

As for any previous Papal resignations:

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

I did exactly the same thing (mind-checked the date). So, it hasn't happened since 1415, then? Muy interesante.

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.

Already said "priest", so that's assumed.
