    Do you agree that the Pope made sound decission to resign?

    I feel that it was very responsible, as there is no good having him for show only.  Good to  go when he is of able to make this move, for the good of the Catholic Church

    I'm not religious but I do feel he did the right thing, he knows he's getting on a bit and feels that he can't handle the pressures of the job, the new Pope is going to have one hell of a job, I don't envy him.


    Yes, it was the correct decision.

    I am also not that religious. Hey did you see the pic of the lightening bolt hitting the Vatican? Maybe God has something to say about it?

    Or God giving his nod of approval to Pope!

    Or just a good lightning conductor on the roof.

    Yes indeed , At least he knew when to throw in the towel unlike his predasesors ,i guess we all know he's the first pope to resign in almost 600 years , time for some fresh new blood as well as ideas..!!

    New ideas are not well received by Vatican Inc. Remember what happend to John Paul 1? He wanted to clean up the rot in the Vatican and was rewarded by being poisoned by those who wished the stones not to be overturned.

    Truth is I'm not even catholic nor do i agree with their idioligies, they have to many non biblical theories including the position of "pontiff' as well..

    Of course he was right to resign, Popes are infallible.

    daren1 I agree - this was a very responsible thing to do. He has such a gentle voice and kind face.

    He's impressed me, His mind is still intact. Takes a wise man to know when he is down. God help the new guy. But then, I'm not Catholic.......
