PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
Given the unusualness of this resignation I think the Cardinals will want to select a new Pope who will in all likelihood survive his predecessor. It would not do to have a living Pope Emeritus when there is a vacancy due to death in the papacy. So given the list of candidates from various sources (and not knowing the ailments that may have lead the current Pope to his decision to resign and could survive into his 100s):
