Now, I’m not one to wish anyone ill health… but…
Pope Benedict XVI is to resign at the end of this month in an unexpected development, saying he is too old to continue at the age of 85.
I can’t say this makes me shed a tear either. Obviously, it is probably too much to hope that we might get a female Pope anytime soon… but I’m going to cross my skeptical fingers that the New Pontificus is of a more modern and liberal mindset…. you know… at least in line with the 18th or 19th century.
