Since he is the first to resign since the Great Schism. I've always wondered what would happen if there were 3 Catholic churches, French, Roman, and Greek Orthodox.
Congratulations, vesta--when coach has to tell you to "shut up", you've definitely reached the big-time of asshattery.
Time to start limiting your posts to 10 words or less again. And then deleting them.
Well shut my mouth here. Half my family and children are Catholic and this is unprecedented in 600 years. Total shock to me and my family, even the Protestant members.
Wasn't that many months ago the Popes closest ad visor went on trial for leaking confidential documents to the public and found Guilty.
For the non Catholics here the Pope was the last resort for decency for many millions around the world.
He was known as PAPA for a reason, He was strict but fair and lived a hard life of isolation, like being in jail with no vacations or going into public to intermingle with the common man.
No.1 worse job in the world as I see it, history shows that those Popes before him had short times at their post due to politics within the church or the Cardinals wanting his job---Strange that.
So whats with age aside made him decide to go back into the life he had before he became Pope ???
My daughter called me all up set to wonder if the next Pope will be the last one. Something she read about.
More and more people are going into the Bible to understand the last chapter and wondering if the last days of Good teachers are over and the future will bring in the warnings about the dark Angle of light---666
I have no problem with Frank, he I expect is as shocked and surprised as the rest of the world. We had a darn good teacher and leader that out of the blue throws up his hands and says " I Quite".
Carrots. You left out Russian Orthodox and Ethiopian Orthodox and the monks that guard the so called birth place of Jesus, who ever they are. Mom tells me they were scarey when she was over there to visit one year.
