ThomasDenton 79 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I honestly didn't think he'd last that long as Pope. He looked like he was on the verge of death when he took office. Though I figured he'd die suddenly before he'd resign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker 82 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Okay, how many think the next Pope won't be a white European? My money is on an Italian, which the vast majority have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Not surprising. He had planned to retire if not chosen Pope, anyway. He's much more a theologian, not an active "shepherd", as it were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Info fact...there have only been four Popes in my lifetime...remember well when we went through three of them in a three month period back in '78. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
