Celestine V has absolutely the best justification for resignation.

i like how everyone is so concerned about what the pope does with his money. it's also funny that most of these said people hate catholics and do nothing but shat hate towards them. All that energy might be better spent towards figuring out what big bama is doing with all his money and power.
I don't hat Catholics, I do think religion is a mental illness though; however, I know some lovely religious people and some lovely Catholics. I take your point about Obama and we know most Politicians are corrupt.

We can do both but since most of the budget of the US government is available publicly and the Vatican does not disclose what the Pope does with his money it seems to make sense to put more money into seeing what the Pope does. Besides I doubt the Pope is engaged in espionage so he ought to have only benefits to reap from revealing where his money goes.

Have you not read any DAN BROWN? That said, I haven't either, I have read the complete works of visionary poet William Blake.
I love the patriarchal Catholic leadership's logic. "Hey, we're getting shit for all the financial corruption and child ****ery that electing an aloof former Hitler youth didn't fix. Oh hey, I know, let's get some supposedly humble gay hating psychopath from Argentina who arranged the murder of his religious and political enemies during the Dirty War and then blocked investigations!!!"
Biggest scam since they turned that ***** Mother Teresa into a symbol of compassion.
