Right, and I don’t see how he can be. But, please, what’s the story on Benedict? Why, why oh why, did he resign?
I’m pretty sure we all figured he wasn’t long for this world when he stepped aside, yet he lives to this day. And seems to be generally fine for an old fellow.
So what’s the story, Jerry? As some old TV ad would ask.
Full disclosure: I’m no longer a Roman Catholic. But if I hadn’t left when and why I did, I’m pretty sure Pachamama would have driven me out.
