The Pope should not be replaced. The Catholic Church should disband, and all Cardinals and Bishops should hang their heads in shame.
The Pope is a nobody in spiritual terms. He is an ordinary person, living an extraordinary life that he does not deserve.
If Pope Benedict has any spiritual integrity, he will resume an ordinary life on a very limited pension. His grandeur is superficial and his status is superfluous. His perceived and secret values are not only redundant, but ignorant. Ignorant of any spiritual value.
The Pope (any) live a secret life and ordinary folk would recoil in horror if they only knew the truth. Why do you think the Pope’s valet stole the documents that are so incriminating? And why do you think he was incarcerated within the Vatican? He could see how wrong things were at the top and all the way down.
The paedophile cover-ups are probably the tip of the iceberg. Time will reveal all we hope.
