Posted February 11, 2013 http://news.sky.com/story/1050513/pope-benedict-resigns-vatican-confirms First Pope to resign for nearly 600 years. Due to his health deteriorating. And there was me thinking this job is supposed to be like monarchs and marriage, till death do they part. Thoughts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2013 Well, that just seems like cheating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2013 As i mentioned, i honestly thought this was a job that was until death. Maybe he's one of them "dirty" relgious types, hence his reluctance to sort out the issues in the church. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2013 "Dear God, you've blessed me with such shitty health I can't do this job for you any more. That's totally legit. I'm not angry or a Nazi. Love, soon to be your ex-Popo. P.S. See you soon babes! xxxx " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2013 The "600 years" figure is misleading - that pope was forced to retire. You have to go back around 800 years for the last pope who voluntarily retire. soon to be your ex-Popo. Ex-Benedict. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2013 is it wrong that i think this is either because a huge scandal about his is to break, or that he's gone after being blackmailed with a scandal breaking? i mean this is the former Hitler Youth/Nazi AA gunner now Ex pope who presided over the worst Catholic Church scandals ever (pedo priests) so i just think surely there is more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 11, 2013 Meh, it's probably that butler scandal. In my (mostly catholic) house, the first general reaction was "I bet he's coming out as gay" And seriously, people still bring up that Hitler Youth thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2013 I think we woke up one morning looking in the mirror and went "religion what a pile of wank" The pope is now an atheist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really, just using it as a vessel to illustrate my point about scandal hit papal term and that skeletons could be coming out of the closest who said Gay? hahah can you imagine the fallout if that happened? all the devoted Catholics who are militantly anti gay who worshiped him and their reactions?

Posted February 12, 2013 The only thing Wii hates more than the Wii U is blasphemers. I'm just kidding. There's nothing he hates more than the Wii U. For my sins I own the Wii U. I've owned every Nintendo console on launch day bar the NES(I bought it later). I said long before it launched that it was in trouble and that's turned out to be the case. I've never been pessimistic about a Nintendo console before but this is screaming off Dreamcast vibes. Just because I'm a Nintendo fan doesn't mean I have to praise their every action. It even won me an award. The same goes for religion, I'm a Catholic but I still give the Catholic church a hard time when it's deserved and that's plenty.

Posted February 14, 2013 Here's a good one. When the news first broke the other day my mother misheard part of the report when it said "this secret was so closely kept even the Popes cloest Aides didn't know about" My mother didn't hear it right and thought it said the Pope was retiring because he had Aids Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
