Pope resignation

 

The 11 February 2013, in a shock anouncamient, the Vatican said the Pope Benedict XVI would resign to be Pope of Vatican. It's very rare for a Pope to resign, because It's a privilege to be the maximun representan of the Christian religion. Speaking in latin the Pope, at the age of 85, told cardinals in Rome that his strengths due to an adcanced age are no longer suited to the role.  The last pope to resign was Pope Gregory XII in 1415 because an illness affected his health. The true name of the Pope Benedict XVI is Joseph Ratzinger and He was born into a traditional Bavarian farming family in 1927. After his resignation, the Pope would return to his own village called Traunstein for live an a seminary and give experience to the young priest.

 

 

 

Personal opinion:

In one hand, I think that the resignation of the Pope Benedict XVI would be a turning point for the Christian religion. I say that because all the new Popes is more than 75 years old and I think that now is the time to the new Pope would can be younger than others Popes. It's not my decision, but I think the Vatican will chose a young Pope because with this form the young people will be more religious than now. On the other hand, I don't understand why only one man has the control of all the Vatican, It's slightly a monarchy sitem with which I disagree. I think that the Vatican would choose more than one Pope to have the control of the Christian religion. For example one Pope for each continent. I tink that this solution will reduce the racism in the Christian religion. If the Vatican can do this, a lot of people will begin to believe in Religion.
