So what does a healthy Pope do when he retires? Move to The Villages in Fla and take up golf?

He could very well be having health issues that we do not know of, who knows.

Has anyone consulted Father Guido Sarducci on this matter ?

British TV is saying the vatican has said it is because of ill health.

I wonder if he’s been diagnosed with something that’s going to be terminal, quickly.

I do not recall one every resigning in my lifetime. It just isn’t usually done. I am leaning towards a progressive disease that robs him of his mental facilities like Alzheimers. (vs a disease that he would die from within a shorter period of time like cancer).
To: Tax-chick
or debilitating like alzheimers or the like meaning competency problems. He is 84. Could be anything.

Don’t tell Obama that the job is open.
To: Sub-Driver
Wow. What must it be like to replace a resigned Holy Father? And might there be secret reasons for Der PanzerKardinal’s announcement? And what exactly does one do as a “former” Pope? Do Oprah? Hang out with Lance Armstrong? Market a private-label cheese? Judge America’s Got Talent?

Obama already thinks the pope reports to him.

Stunning.
Is he not, according to the Malachi Martin prophecy, the last Pope before the final one, Petrus Romanus?
Dam! I really was hoping the end of the world as we know it wasn’t coming this year...

Yours is the first I’ve seen but I look for the same thing to be posted in “breaking news” at least 20 times in the next few days. “Pope to resign!”

Isn’t there something about the “last pope” and end times?
