I don't know why I find this resignation so fascinating.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict will see out his life in prayer, "hidden from the world", he said on Thursday in his first personal comment on his plans since he stunned Roman Catholics by announcing his retirement.

Maybe if he prays long enough maybe, just maybe, something miraculous (highly improbable) will happen.

I have known a few people that have the uncanny ability to do the right thing, for the wrong reasons!

It seems that once he steps outside his popedom, he is just a citizen, and can be sued, but he will probably get protection from the Italian President. Geoffrey Roberston has been after the pope for years, and has been waiting in the wings.

Should he and the rest of the guilty be immune from prosecution or persicution?

Is the church going to continue with their current philosophy or are they going to change their current dysfunctional celibacy doctrine. Apparently being married to Jesus hasn't be working for them.

Have men joined the order to hide their sinful sexual orientation, trying to bury it under the cloth so to speak?
