Think about it for a moment. If you were a Pope and completely overwhelmed and feeling inadequate, to whom could you turn? Who could possibly understand the pressures of the Papacy? Who could rightly guide you in this difficult decision? The simple answer is, no one on earth. So instead, our Holy Father has turned to Saint Celestine - the only saint in Heaven who has experienced what Pope Benedict is experiencing.

So the pope has been feeling completely overwhelmed and inadequate for the job, has he?

Any sane and reasonable man would, and he has said so from the very beginning of his reign. He is a very humble man despite his huge intellectual and theological achievements.

Only with the aid of the Holy Spirit can such a monumental responsibility be undertaken by any human being. And he realizes that. As Aslan said to Prince Caspian, "If you had thought you were ready, it would have been a sign that you were not."

P.S. You need to save your snarky comments for another day. It doesn't reflect well on you or whatever beliefs you hold to.
