In a stunning move, the Pope announced that he would resign. This is big news, because no Pope has resigned in 600 years. Pope Benedict XVI announced his decision on Monday. He said he has been losing strength and can no longer perform the tasks required of him. He is 85 years old.
The last Pope to resign was Gregory the XII. He stepped down in 1415 and he did it to stop a rift in the Church. The last Pop to resign voluntarily was Celestine V, in 1294.
Some experts think that this will be the new thing,since with the improvement of medicine, and the Pope having the best, they will want to retire earlier, instead of dying.
I think, that due to the sanctity of this religion, this should be banned. However, since I am not Roman-Catholic and don't know too much about this, I am unable to make a entirely accurate decision.
