Re: The Pope Resigned

the Time magazine article made a rather sinister point about how this may be a smart move on his part to influence things and not be accountable for them. He's made a lot of blunders in his time, but because he's resigning and not, you know, dead, he still has influence over who gets chosen next, and that influence may even extend to this next person's ...reign? period?

kind of like whipping the slate clean for the church but continuing to pull strings.

but don't take me seeriously, that's just the conspiracy theorist in me.

I heard something on NPR about how he's supposed to go into a kind of "good as dead" seclusion, but I don't know if that's just until after the election or for the rest of his life.

I've read it elsewhere as well. The problem is not the much the Pope himself as the Cardinals who will elect him, some of which having been chosen by the now ex-Pope. Many of them are extra conservative and they will choose a Pope who will share their vision. Different face but same beliefs and doctrine, probably.

So much for "chosen by God"...
