    I'm gonna have to go with middle bottom (whoever that is) after seeing PatColo's post,

    as the anti-pope would have to appear a beautiful man.

    Re: Pope Benedict XVI to resign February 28th

    Pope Gregory XII (1406–1415) resigned in 1415 in order to end the Western Schism, which had reached the point where there were three claimants to the Papal throne: Roman Pope Gregory XII, Avignon Antipope Benedict XIII, and Pisan Antipope John XXIII. Before resigning he formally convened the already existing Council of Constance and authorized it to elect his successor.


    I was afraid of this. This was not a normal papal resignation. I'm not sure there ever has been such.

    Should be interesting to see where this goes. The barometer is all primed, and ready...waiting for some weather.

    To top this last guy, maybe just hang a star of David around Darth Vader

    Whoever gets the job, he's going to have to be a papal person...

    Since this is relevant, I recommend the italian movie "Habemus Papam", which is, I believe, currently available on Netflix streaming under the english title ("We Have a Pope").

    And Ratzinger announced that he will step down on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
