I totally agree. Actually, before seeing the news, I didn't know a Pope could renounce.

Neither did I, but when I heard the news I just thought "oh yeah, why not"

Same actually. But renounce is just sugar coating.
In the same way Nixon "renounced" himself as President after Watergate. Mmmm. Sounds nicer that way.

The funny thing is I didn't know about this until yesterday. I saw a flash animation making a joke on it but didn't realise it was a real story(can't find it though).

After allegations of paedophilia, what he says about gays, condoms(LOOOL) and the Vatileaks of last year, I'm surprise he hasn't been thrown in jail or had Chris Hansen ask him " why don't you take a seat over there"?
But he gets away with it. I wonder if the next Pope will be Chinese or gay?
