    this was going around the illuminati circles back when Pope John Paul died, it was said that Benedict would be a placeholder for the anti-christ before the end of the world.

    It would have been interesting if ex-Portland Archbishop Levada became the pope (he took over Benedict's position in the Vatican), but its probably not going to happen.

    A sign from God? Lighting strikes the basilica of St.Peter's dome earlier this evening during a storm that struck Rome on the same day Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation.

    Does anyone else find it funny Pope Benedict pretty much gave the standard two-week notice?

    On a serious note, I applaud his decision if he believes he is putting the good of the Church before himself. Future popes should follow his lead when they become too frail to carry out the duties of the papacy.

    I wonder if he waited until after he cashed his bonus check? :dunno:

    For most that would be about 10 years before they are crowned pope.

    I'm calling it now, put your money on Cardinal Marc Ouellet. He's old, conservative and non controversial.

    Lock of the century for the next pope.
