Pope Benedict XVI the spiritual leader of 1.2 billion catholics shocked the wold on monday morning when he announced that he will be resigning from his religious duties as the Pope
Pope Benedict's reason for stepping down is because he has said that he is "too tired and too weak to carry on his duties" and he is looked to step down on February 28th. The news startled and shocked the Catholic world and led to frenzied speculation about who would replace him.
this is the first time in nearly 600 years that a pope has resigned to his duties. i personally think that is a big shock to the Catholic community. and also that is has everyone off guard. all we can d now is wait and see who will be the one to replace Pope Benedict XVI.
