re: #129 Glenn Beck’s Grand Unifying Theory of Obdicut
Personally, I don’t give a damn why he’s resigning. I stopped going to church decades ago. However, let’s face it — the initial reaction is going to be that his resignation is somehow connected to the scandals of recent years.
OTOH, this vacancy opens the door for new blood in the Vatican. New ideas won’t happen anytime in the next few centuries, but getting someone younger might be interesting.
