For the love of all things Pope v.1;

I promised myself a post on the new papacy, and am at long last fulfilling that promise. However late it may be.

So, recap: Just in time for Lent, Pope Benedict XVI, gave up the papacy. The first resignation in over 600 years, the last seen in 1415 by Pope Gregory XII, who stepped down to end the "Great Western Schism" -- during which there were rival claims to the papal throne. 

While Benedict XVI's intentions were not so chivalrous, his resignation was said to be inspired by "deterioration and weakness in his body," according to Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi. Lombardi continues to state that Pope Benedict had the right and potentially the duty to resign. 

While many find this excusable, according to the National Catholic Weekly, modern popes have felt that resignation is unacceptable and could encourage factions within the church to pressure pontiffs to step down.

However, his resignation adhered to the requirements of Canon law that a resignation must be made freely and must be properly manifested and that the pope resigning must be of sound mind. 

So, for a man who is nearly 86 years old, eight years into a papacy, and suffers from deterioration of his health, this may have been a wise choice. Eight years ago, he was the oldest cardinal elected since Pope Clement XII in 1730, and maybe he should be admired for letting someone younger, and more able to take his place. 

That maybe was, however, surrounded by skepticism, and the internet went crazy with allegations including the Illuminati, as well as accusations that the church may have been under a homosexual leading these past eight years. 

I'm not going to get into the messy side of it though, especially because there was so much of it, and I still have to get out an entire post about Pope Francis. 

So, here's your first Pope Post, expect the second within the next day or so,

Sierra.
