Let Me Talk About the Pope

The pope retired today because modern science has allowed his body to live beyond his brain's ability to cope. The last time a pope retired was before Europe found the place where most Catholics now live. Now you know all that there is to know about this story.

The only way that additional news related to this story could be good is if the new pope is more to the left of Pope Palpatine and/or not from Europe (or of European Origin). If that happens, maybe the RCC can stop it's long, downward spiral into oblivion, but I'm not holding my breath.
