    Threads merged. And I know this'll fall on deaf ears, but can we keep the religion bashing down to a minimum?

    So one old codger resigns to let a slightly younger codger in to continue spouting drivel.

    I dunno if you're joking here or not!! :pac:


    Anyway, can't say I'm sorry to hear this. Way too old and not any way forward thinking. Although at this stage I think most of the Catholic church's top brass are completely out of touch with reality anyway. But he really hasn't a clue.

    I'm sure he's leaving because of an ecumenical matter...

    Cardinals elect a new one. This is usually 15 days after the death of a pope, not sure what happens in a resignation.
