Pope Resigns.


"Pope Resigns?"  What do you mean "Pope Resigns?"   Popes can't resign.  I thought being Pope was like being in the Hotel California, you can check out any time but you can never leave. Bunch of popes have checked out, never heard of one resigning.  What is he going to do, like, retire?  Garden? I don't know. He's resigning though. Age and health, he says. I immediately text-messaged my daughter, who leaves for a class trip to Italy, including the Vatican, on Friday: "I was relieved.  I thought it might be he knew you were coming."

Sheesh, unbelievable. The Pope resigned.
