The Tapatalk count is way off. My browser shows that we're still over 100 posts away.

It's wide open!

Silly me for thinking Tapatalk was doing something right. So glad I paid for this.

Anyway, now you have to win it so I don't look like a jackass. Or, hell, I'll just change the post number :p

Though I'm one to agree that political and religious discussions don't much fit in Chatter, this falls within religion-independent world news as well: the Pope is resigning at the end of this month.


The full text of the resignment statement has not been posted on most news sites, so I'll put it here:

Dear Brothers,

I have convoked you to this Consistory, not only for the three canonizations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church. After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry. I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering.

However, in today?s world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me. For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the Cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is.

Dear Brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects. And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff. With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the Holy Church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer.

From the Vatican, 10 February 2013

Take it for what you will; just felt like throwing up the link and full text for anyone who doesn't check/see the news much.

Anyway, I'm heading out for the night. Just finished pulling a digital copy of my Planet Earth discs into the library. They play very nicely, and Sir David Attenborough sounds as entranced as usual.
