We struggled against apartheid in South Africa, supported by people the world over, because black people were being blamed and made to suffer for something we could do nothing about; our very skins. It is the same with sexual orientation. It is a given.

Italian media are reporting that Josef Ratzinger is set to step down as pope, making him the second pope only in history to voluntarily resign.

Pope Benedict XVI is resigning due to health problems. Seems like he has had a very short tenure.

Now, that's a sensible and reasonable choice.
The previous one was a good man but damn, he was in such a poor shape around the end. That was painful to watch.
Better to resign.

Gonna be an unusual situation for the Papal conclave. Usually they do not have the old guy looking over their shoulders.

It's a shame he's resigning, the world needs more dead Popes and less alive ones.

Unusual, but what standing can he have now? His reign wasn't considered a highlight for the Church by any means, and he didn't follow through to the end. Originally Posted by the4thpip

Makes you wonder if he's had a moral crisis and is ready for a change that he can't bring about?"I came to the conclusion that the optimist thought everything good except the pessimist, and the pessimist thought everything bad, except himself." -- G.K.

He is in his mid 80s and has been looking frail and ill for years. He's recently come out against LGBT rights, again. I think you are way off on this one. Originally Posted by David Walton

Probably! I don't know that he's looking that much worse than he did before. Originally Posted by the4thpip

I think its a largely political/PR move
the Church knows its public reputation is in the can, has been for years, and if they don't do something soon its going to cost them in the long runSupport your local roller derby league
