Wow! This is a sweet deal! It would allow this man to live in the Vatican for the rest of his life!!! Has any previous pope had such a sweet deal?? No wonder he was willing to step down! [/heavy, heavy sarcasm]

This article is nonsense.

Secular speculation, by folks unable to conceive of noble motives in the resignation.

A WAR criminal... What war? What crime?

“” The Vatican decided today to give permanent sanctuary to a proven war criminal by allowing Joseph Ratzinger to obstruct”

Time for a ZOT.

Charged with “crimes against humanity”? By whom?
The lack of specifics makes me think this came from
some nutball kook website.
