If one is a close listener to Religious news, it should come as no surprise that Pope Benedict XVI has announced to resign his holy title. Actually, anyone that has any clue what is happening in the religious forefront would probably know that as well.
However, although Pope Benedict XVI is known as a hard-line conservative, he may in fact end up changing the definition of Papacy as we know it. For at this time, the role of the Pope is certainly known to be a lifetime mission like no other and know we have the 264th successor to Saint Peter resigning this title. And perhaps this announcement made Somebody mad.
Jokes about divine punishment aside, Pope Benedict XVI definitely has his reasons for resigning so now its only a matter of finding a succesor to his seat and for the Vatican to figure out how to work out the problem of having two living Popes. But that will eventually work it... hopefully...
