Abdication seems to be flavour of the year so far...first the Dutch Queen and now the Pope. They say things come in threes....Charles must be praying fervently...

TBH, much as thought I took the piss elsewhere, could it be that at 85 and having gone through a few hefty periods of unrest in the catholic political system, he just wants to GTFO? I mean, the child sex abuse stuff must have been a right humdinger to deal with as the head of the organisation, and I wouldn't want to politic my way out of that one at 30, never mind near three times that age...

He's got piles of rotting alterboy corpses hidden behind his Pope Chair that he violates in a necrophilic fashion, and it's all going to come out next week because Anon hacked him. Is that more like it?

...and in one fell swoop, the altarboys are safe and no woman ever wants to be a priest. Berlusconi, you master of politics, you!

It says something when the only way down from being a member of the Hitler Youth was being made Pope... Maybe he's "looked into his conscience" and realised it was all make believe and fairy tales concocted 2000 years ago to control the masses?

Someone asked a Cardinal on the news this morning if they would consider an African or South American pope, as that's where most of the poor sods live (I may be mis-quoting there). I did laugh. The system is there to keep the masses poor and in need of faith, not to let them join the meek and humble boys club that live in that Favela AKA Vatican City.

I'd rather step aside and enjoy the latter time of my life being at my own pace than trying to deal with the sh!t the church has gone through and addressing falling congregation numbers. Some other fvcker can have that pleasure.
