Somebody upstairs ain’t happy.
Didn’t lightning strike the Vatican on the day Pope Benedict announced he was resigning?

Interesting. What does “essentially” mean here? Was he just paraphrasing the Pope? Or making assumptions? Unfortunately, I cannot access the link in your post #17. My security program blocks it: “This site can’t provide a secure connection”.
