Pope Benedict to resign
 

I normally don't comment on religious topics but

Good riddance.

He probably got caught with his hands in the cookie jar... Or in some poor defenseless choir boys ass...

Will he go on the run and hide in Argentina or is is going to crush a death-pill in his mouth and shoot himself?

He is ready to execute order 66 and become emperor of entire earth :)

I have not bothered to check if those Nazi pics are real or not, but if they are and he was still able to become the Pope... LOL. The people deserve him.

He was a nazi? fucking hell!!!

He needs to devote his time to alter boys.

the new Pope is black

Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana

I'm not a fan of the Catholic church but I must say this news was rather shocking. I didn't even know they could quit. I thought it was a until you die kind of job. Guess not. :P

You're thinking about The Mafia, easy to confuse the two though :)

is this true?

I thought they get together and decide by what smoke pours out the chimney or some shit.

As far as I know those pics are real. But. as much as I despise that freak, he was a kid those times and I don't think he had much of a choice. Before he became pope he was head of the inquisition and as such he sent out pretty fucked up orders regarding child abuse within the church. That is something to hold against him. Or his medieval view of the world and his exorcism fetish.

nigga please

it's not only an old story, it's also that at that time as a kid you didnt have any choice.

i am as anti nazi as you can get but i dont hold that against him. you would have worn that uniform too and me probably as well.

what i hold against him is not having done more serious action against abusers among church personnel, being conservative and backwards oriented, getting the Pius brothers back into the catholic church and some more.

Not to defend the Nazis but all children in the Thrid Reich were forced into one Nazi youth group or another.

For boys, being in the Hitler Youth was pretty much like being in the Boy Scouts and no one escaped from it.

"He was forced against his will into Hitler Youth at the age of 14 and into the Wehrmacht at 16, serving in an anti-aircraft unit before deserting towards the end of the war."

I's very hard to hold governmentally mandated membership in a group against people who were children or teenagers at the time.

:2 cents:

He was in Hitler Youth, he was a kid and had no choice, neither did his family, unless they wanted to be killed. He wasn't a Nazi nor were any members of his family. The German people do bear considerable responsibility for Hitler, but to think all Germans were behind him is wrong - even many Nazis realized, albeit too late, that he was out of his mind.

Always amazes me that these ancient religions still exist, wield such power and cause such death and destruction. Marx called religion the opiate of the masses - he picked the wrong class of drugs, opiates numb people, they don't turn them into raving violent lunatics.

Hitler Youth membership was compulsory.

Maybe he is dieing from some serious shit and he knows he will not be able to be active pope and fight that

Apparently he is first pope in 600 years period to do that.

Being hitler youth when he was a child 70+ years ago is one thing.... Not protecting other youth over the last 50 years as an adult from scumbag kid touchers in priest robes... That's something else entirely.

that pedo nazi had never to be pope anyway, but its not needed to comment on all those religious thieves and pedos anyway

Francis Arinze from Nigeria is the top favorite. He is black too:)

you guys are too focused on the past. do you have any idea why this is relevant news TODAY? according to biblical prophecies the next pope will not only be the last one, but he will also be responsible for opening the world stage for the anti-christ........fuck, you people are really lost.

he is so old and he have no energy so he have to resign. he didnt know before? he didnt know like all the popes in the past? lol what a stupid asshole nothing else ...

all is looking good for us ...

let tubes save us! :)

He has Parkinson's

Not a big business out there that would allow an 85 year old guy to run it.


.

In my day, the Pope didn't resign! He died a withered, crippled, palsyed virgin!

Neither.

he found out there is talk of building a Death star and he wants the job.

Time will tell if this is the right decision

Either that or he was poisoned.

i agree that's tall

Why is this news on GFY? Who really cares?

He was in the hitler youth. most german boys that age were at the time.

looks like uniform and hand up and going for the hitler thing, if he was religious and so like pope have to be, his family would have run from the country before he put his hand up? :2 cents: like so many others did ... but i am not religious i dont understand that at all so not my problem just telling my two cents

you read it on gfy !

guilt is powerful shit

He's just a figure head, that whole business is run by the burocrats in the background. A new pope will get elected, some leading positions will change, but the basic machinery will stay the same, no matter who's elected.:2 cents:

are you saying the pope is aborting his papacy before it reaches full term? :1orglaugh

except to anyone with a brain biblical prophecies are not relevant today.

Dear Vatican: Two words - Poprah Winfrey. Think about it.
