Now I have to ask, why would a protestant, gender identity disordered troll, possibly care what the most powerful man on the planet does, has done, or will do?

Je vous aime toujours?? I don`t think so....

Addendum: And stop the Vatican from laundering (drug) money through its bank.

Stop also US dioceses in the US from receiving and employing (questionable) sisterhoods from (and headquartered) south of the border, their backroom receipt of US faith-based (so-called) educational grants, their establishing way-stations (posing as charity) for illegals sent from south of the border and proceeding, as instructed (and even coerced) by the MxGov, to predesignated stateside consulates---and those consulate's (so-called) "jurisdictions"---and accepting, in fact, any sister and priest from south of the boder.

At least until they register themsleves with the USAG as agents of a foreign power.

In all, stop its mantra promoting "immigration" even when serving, as it does, the export of labor for profit, and, by the church, uninvestigated disguise for colonization.

PS: "..the export of labor for profit..." as in the interception of the billions of US dollars in remittances long being sent (and being sapped from US circulation and, thus, 'the economy') to their rightful recipients by most essentially, the MxGov, and its substitution of those dollars in pesos, in dole outs, representing profit to the MxGov in both the unearned income of dollars thus "captured" by, and for, the MxGov and, if it were not enough, any addtional unearned income derived from the "irregulatites" pertaining to the rates of exchange applied to the dole outs by the MxGov and favoring the MxGov.

Similarly, the MxGov's allied Latino governments.

How about this human?

Thanks for your comment, Terry.
Scholars of Church history tend not to regard the events of 1415 as "resignation"; this because Gregory XII's was a forced abdication; not a voluntary resignation. The abdication was concocted to bring closure to The Western Schism of 1378-1415, a schism that boasted two (and for a brief period, three) rivals to pretense. Still, I won't quibble.

Incidentally, upon Celestine's resignation, he quipped that no man could be both "good" and "pope" at the same time. His successor, Boniface VIII was, quite naturally, rather piqued by this parting bon mot. Further, because Celestine was a genuinely pious (rather than political) animal, his acclaim only increased upon his resignation. The Bonney Boniface, piqued and now jealous, threatened and feeling totally insecure, had Celestine (now again merely Pietro da Maronne) hunted down, arrested, and imprisoned. His suspicious death shortly thereafter, convenient as it was to Boniface VIII, attracted a great deal of finger-pointing. Poor Boniface... a political hack, red in tooth and claw, waving his crosier like some talisman of Grace and Purity, had a rather unhappy reign.

Dante, much to his credit, placed Boniface in the Eighth Circle of Hell (between Violence and Treachery)... Dante, I would aver, was being generous.

Correct. I was astonished by the media's claim that (though not refering to it particularly) that abdication was a "resignation."

"Still, I won't quibble."

The Church has an unprecedented dilemma on its hands. Thus the College of Cardinals will be called to convene but not necessarily to quickly elect a new Pope as it appears the Vatican may require time to study its theological body of law.

What is alarming is the report of "the theft of documents from the Pope's desk by a trusted butler."

And thus the suddeness of the resignation?

Could the info of those documents have been incriminating?

Requiring, as it has been reported probable, the isolation of the Pope in a cloister within the Vatican?

Overly PC, I've been having to consider the media being unessarily polite.

That "the resignation" is actually a forced abdication.

"What was in those purloined documents?"---JamesMichael

I had to do an i-net search; for starters goto:

Vatileaks scandal - "He claimed to have stolen the documents to fight 'evil and corruption' and put the..."

"Yup. It's damage-control."---JamesMichael

A German (digital) news broadcast yesterday showed the Vatican spokesman, Lombardi, saying that ex-Pope Benedict had started speaking about "resigning" upon his return to the Vatican from Mexico last March where Benedict did not meet with abuse victims (as he did for others during trips abroad) despite knowing, as Cardinal Ratzinger, about the numerous complaints against "Father Marcial Maciel, founder of Legionaries of Christ.'"

The MxGov and Mexico's bishops didn't want those meetings.

Mexico's image must always be unblemished.

And thus thier apparently having their pedophile priests removed from Mx (via the LA ArchBishop) to the states; and, of course, their wanting, in lieu of Benedict's original election and still, the election of their "Lord Cardinal Rivera Carrera."

The setup, YP, was that Ratzinger led the Papal Congregation for the Doctrine of The Faith, the Vatican Office responsible for dealing with "such matters". Ample documentation uncovered during the Mahoney investigation shows that Mahoney kept Ratzinger in the loop every step of the way. Ratzinger fully concurred in Mahoney's "methods" for dispatching the diddlers, rapists, and fellators, including Mahoney's favorite trick whereby the creeps were quietly sent to different parishes where, lucky for them, there'd be a whole new supply of innocent young meat upon whom to prey while praying. And when Mahoney saw fit to ship a diddler off for "pastoral counseling" it was to a state chosen specifically for its lack of laws requiring reports of abuse.

Holy Mother the Church was a pederastic sex syndicate. Mahoney and Ratzinger made sure that, by stealth, the sordid and depraved destruction of young lives could perpetuate itself.

Pity the children.
Let the law dispatch with the crime bosses.
Let Dante dispatch with Cardinal and Pope.

And you are quite horrible at drying to disguise yourself.....
