Glenn Has A Theory ~

I'm curious to hear your thoughts Unicorn, and anyone else out there in FTTE land!!
Initially, I thought it was really about his health. Then I thought about it and said to myself - he did this too quickly, something else has to be here. Then I heard of all the rumors of gay relationships, and all the ridiculous politics going on there.
To sum up, I think it is a combination of health, relationships and politics. - health being the least of it.
Concerning Pope Benedict retiring. The reason for his retirement is how it was stated. His health. To imply that his stepping down is some underlying thing or some sinister plot is not only laughable but totally silly. This is my opinion
His words...
Wearing his traditional white vestments, he told the huge crowd: “There were moments of joy and light but also moments that were not easy ... there were moments, as there were throughout the history of the Church, when the seas were rough and the wind blew against us and it seemed that the Lord was sleeping.”
He spoke of being reluctant when chosen. Huge responsibility with that job!
My prayers are with him for his health and for the Church.
