Could be any number of reasons why. Maybe it's something to do with his past in the Nazi youth or maybe a bit of boy fancying or more covering up of it! Or maybe it's a nice bit of money laundering!

Or he could have actually tried to change something the real powerholders didn't like so they left him no other choice..

Ill health - some say he's had 2 strokes - I dont know why they elected such an old bugger in the first place - being CEO of a major faith should be a job for someone in their 40s really?

So whats the odds on the next pope? Cmon Paddypower

Black guy 1000-1?

 

[Raven]

Mr A.Hypocrite again, probably.

Probably but isn't the average age of Popes when they elected something like 65? It's a job for old buggers with 10 years left to live it seems.

So they can normally die in service and not resign

 

[Mabs]

or theyre trying to close the book on all the paedo stuff

 

[old.Tohtori]

A german quitting? I call shenanigans.

 

[Tilda]

God wills it!

 

[Deebs]

Allah be praised!

 

[Chilly]

zomallah!

 

[Gwadien]

I think we should apply for Deebs to be pope, he is, after all, cardinal of Freddyshouse.

Perhaps he's resigning to spend more time with the kids.

Like all catholic priests, the funs fallen off now the jobs over 7 years old.

 

[Job]

Wtf..whos gonna massacre the muslims now?

 

[Kryten]

He's decided to follow a life of intelligence and science instead after having watched Brian Cox last night.

Fixed.

LOL at Cameron's official response.
'He will be sorely missed by millions of followers'
translate..brainwashed cult members.

 

[Raven]

Cameron made a joke there. Sorely missed olololol

Because they are closer to god...

I always like this guy for Pope but unfortunately he died in 2005:

Should have handed people like this over to the authorities. Didn't. Cunt.

Yup. He covers for paedo's.

There's a largely symbolical attempt to have him prosecuted by a few people in the US. However, because he's a head of state he's immune.


Edit: I wonder if we'll get a black pope? It'll alienate a lot of their support but at the same time it's where the only real growth is...

I'd say its inevitable.

 

[Raven]

There is money to be made in Africa so I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[Ormorof]
