This is bigger than Edward VIII- the last pope to resign was in 1415 and that was to end a schism!

He probably doesn't want to end up like his predecessor, who was almost completely incapacitated towards the end of his life.

Yes, but that's what they've all done. Gregory XII resigned to end a schism, Celestine V because the future Boniface VIII goaded him into retirement, and  Pope Benedict IX to make money. This is really WITHOUT precedent.

Shameless nationalism on my part.

Considering that the prophecy mentions that "Peter" will be the last pope, I feel like electing this Turkson fellow is unwise.

I like this.
