I'm not Catholic, so I've really ...Hi Rick<br /><br />I'm not Catholic, so I've really not paid a lot of attention to the Pope. But after the announcement came out, I saw a couple of newsreels. On closer inspection - he looks tired, weary.<br /><br />From the report, he hadn't planned on being Pope; he'd wanted to spend time and write books with his older brother in his 'golden years.' My only insight on how a Pope is selected, comes from the Da Vinci Code (sorry) but if that was anywhere near an accurate depiction - Pope didn't look like a position you could really just say 'not interested' to, even if you did have other plans for your life.<br /><br />I know Catholics world wide will miss him. But, I think he knows best how he feels physically. Being Pope and all, I'm sure he's prayed and is comfortable in the knowledge that God is alright with his decision.<br /><br />Sorry to be so ignorant about the 'inner workings' of your faith. We Baptists don't have too many rituals...well, unless you happen to accidentally find yourself in a Southern Baptist church....All I can say about that is - very interesting - in a fun way : )<br /><br /><br />Darahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612923804586600664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042042552998680556.post-2102223945493859952013-02-11T10:31:27.466-08:002013-02-11T10:31:27.466-08:00Great idea!
