In the beginning of this week the Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation. He is saying his reasons for this big decision is that he is tired and sick which would prevent him doing a good job as the Pope.
A good job? I ask myself, is being "a pope" a job like being a receptionist, a taxi driver or a politician? I thought they say the pope was chosen by god into that massive role of the leader of the whole catholic world? The Italian politicians (no names) don´t want to leave their jobs until they fall into the grave but the pope is now resigning like he was just anyone.
Rumors are anyway saying his reason to resign is something else. They talk about internal conflicts in the Vatican, "bank problems" or just emotional problems with the Christian population. I am curious to know the real reason but my opinion remains; A pope should not resign.
The pope Benedict XVI´s last day at his job is the 28th February and at 8pm he should walk out of the church for good. A new pope should be chosen around Easter. Interesting.

No offense anyone but I don't even get the big stress around being a pope. Your boss doesn't fire you if you are late in the morning. You have no deadlines. Anyway...
ReplyDeleteTo me the simple fact that Vatican is against preservatives and yoga (yes, read here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2066289/Yoga-work-devil-says-Vaticans-chief-exorcist-doesnt-like-Harry-Potter-either.html) is enough to not even consider them as serious people.
Considering his past and all the child abuse which happened under his leadership it's even too late that he resigns.
I don't think there can be a morally poorer person than him.
Hahhaha, that article is so funny. The Vatican is against yoga as they see it as a part of Hinduism... But I actually thought the vatican welcomed all religions? Weird.
ReplyDeletecould't care less but I kind of agree that the pope should stay pope until his death. I would guess there are scandals behind his resignation that one day soon will turn out and that's why he's running off.
