Pope Benedict XVI is to resign at the end of this month in an unexpected development, saying he is too old to continue at the age of 85.

Thanks for nothing, Darth Pope Benedictus.

I honestly had no idea that popes had the option of resigning

**Dimmauk** · 2013-02-11 07:38

Easily the worst Pope ever.

**The Stig** · 2013-02-11 07:50

I wonder why. Some reasons here were thrown around at work:

Gay
Terrorist
Switched Religion/got converted
Pedo

Not read this resignation letter/speech yet.

Apparently the last one was in the late 1400's.

Official story is that he's stepping down for health reasons, which actually might be true. The guy has looked grim (or Darth, rather) the entire time he has been in office. If you add in the fact that no one likes him, there's no real need to keep him around as a figurehead.

Or he did not touch enough kids enough (ok ok i kid)

**Prothescar** · 2013-02-11 08:13

I'm happy for it tbh. He's been the worst pope in many generations, hopefully the next one is more open minded

**Odon** · 2013-02-11 08:17

He's worried Fudge Dredd will come after him too.

So when is Tom Hanks gonna uncover the real truth?

From the department of redundancy department.

Would it be sacrilege to resurrect John Paul II. I'm not one for religious beliefs, but that dude was alright.

**Kononeko** · 2013-02-11 08:57

Nooo! Not Nazi Vampire Pope.

**Gokulo** · 2013-02-11 09:03

Next pope is going to be black, and then we will have Armageddon or something.

Last time all the talking heads where clucking that the next pope would be latino to reconnect with that base.

They then elected the whitest, creepiest looking mother fucker they could find.

**Salodin** · 2013-02-11 09:31

He's the fucking voice of God, according to the religion. How you gonna step down?
