have they resigned of their own volition, or been "deposed"? I recall there was at least one pope who was forced to step down at the end of the Great Schism, who turned up a tad dead just a short while later.

in Saint Peter there's this statue of a "future Pope"? turning away from his hat in the most frightened way.
so i thiught it symbolized that this particular "pope" didnt want to be pope
i asked about that later but noone knew what i was talking about like the statue didnt exist
any clues on that?

i saw an article recently that said the pope was still lucid and was able to write sermons, etc. he just isn't physically able to deliver them anymore. maybe they should give up the PR battle and let him use a wheelchair

Truly, it is time for the pope to retire. This is getting ridiculous.
As for the next, pope: perhaps the papacy ought to be offered to a patriarch of the Orthodox church in order to heal the schism.http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=en

Why would he want to retire ?
Housing, cars, food, booze, women, all gratis.
He'd be a fool.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

In his condition? You have to remember, he's only 30. It's all that free stuff that makes him appear he's 150.
BTW, I'm amazed at the "Methodist" rememberance.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
