Religion = Politics 2 - Pope Retires during Mardi Gras!
 |
| Good work, if you can get it! |
Under pressure from our earlier exposé post, Religion = Politics ...Pope Benedict XVI has announced his
resignation! The news rocked the Roman Catholic Church…
"I didn't really think it was possible to resign. But
if he feels he's not in a position to continue then it's an honorable thing to
do," said Michael Lauber a 58-year-old civil servant entering St Hedwig's
Roman Catholic Cathedral in central Berlin.
"It's what anyone else in any other job would have to
do. I can't say I'm disappointed," said Lauber.
"This is really extraordinary because not since
Celestine V has this happened," said Rome
"It's an incredible thing, we need to see why he did
it. I hope the church doesn't end up like Italian politics," she said. *
As of this posting, the persistent rumor could not be
confirmed… and it may just be a coincidence… or more tellingly, a synchronicity…
that today’s announcement by Pope Benedict, of his abrupt retirement… coincides
with Fat Tuesday celebrations in New Orleans and other locals around the world,
where Mardi Gras is observed. These unsubstantiated rumors indicate that the
Pope reportedly wanted to… “Give ‘em something to celebrate!”

Accordingly, in the words of that fine Mardi Gras anthem,
Iko-Iko… If you don’t like what the Big
Chief say, sing: Jakamo Fi Na Ne!
