The Pope retires? ?:|

[i-need-a-martini]

I wouldn't have thought it would be the kind of job you retired from - I thought those guys kept their jobs until their death?

Vote Pope Tone the action man.

My choice:

Cardinal Marc Ouellet

John Paul II

He was the best Pope, imo.

[sprinklespowerpuff]

I liked Pope Benedict l -  I think he was called, the one who didn't last long as Pope before he died. Was he the one who died in his bed Mioux was saying? Anyway I thought he had more life in him than the other Popes they'd had. There was a rumour at the time that he was about to make and/or recommend reforms that the hierarchy didn't agree with so was bumped off somehow.

God will get them if they did knock off a Pope 😮
