Don't link something that has never been done and is not a part of the Pope's responsibility. Retiring is not the same thing as not being Pope, its something else. It means others take over work.

And if that one book is correct, that one probably died not too long after.

And any that say they would quit are probably poisoned.

Bush finished his job and escapes to a very inappropriate huge ranch in South America.

Pope's don't get that luxury.


When they want a new pope, they assassinate the old.

Because of this, have more sympathy for pope's than presidents and hope one of them speaks up.
