He's 85 and his health is failing. I actually hopes this sets a precedent and future Popes resign when they can no longer mentally or physically do their duties.
Yeah, I can kinda agree with that. Particularly with the way the world has changed in the past 50 years. It'd be nice if they elected a younger pope. One who better understands technology, social changes and one willing to really tackle the scandals that have rocked the church and punish those abusers and reconcile with those hurt by their crimes.
