At age 85, we find the current Pope
resigning official on February 28th The catholic community went
frantic and are rushing to find a new possible candidate for the spot. Though
the current Pope believes that the sections that have been made are currently
in good standing and that his replacement will be just as successful as him. Aside
from the shock that many Catholics are feeling right now, this is the first
time in 600 years that the Pope as stepped down from his spot. The last time a
Pope had left, it was to end a civil war within his church.
I feel that regardless of his standing,
the pope was and in in the right to step down. In the end, what he was doing
was just a job. And eventually, following religion or not, he would have to
stop doing his job; weather that be to resignation or to death. At the age of
85, most people would agree that any common task would be made complex and hard
just because of the human body’s decaying fashion. You look at pictures of the pope
and you see, he is not a very healthy and young looking person. Sometimes it
would be better to resign and let a new voice be heard then to possibly suffer
through several more years of extreme had work and pain.
