Default Pope Resigns

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-21411304

Bit of a surprise, but given all that's happened while he's in office he'll probably be glad to see the back of the gilded chair.

Still, he'll have more time to work on the Death Star now.

Of course! It all makes sense now!

The Pope is resigning to take up a full time position as Raptors Court Jester!

I was excommunicated once. Then I sacked Rome, took the Pope out of his palace and forced him and all his successors to live in Northern Sweden. I considered that a satisfactory way to get revenge.

So is it because of a health problem or a "coverup of a touching little boys scandal" problem?
