I mean no disrespect to the outgoing Pope, but what's with all the talk about what he'll do in his "retirement" when, really, does anyone think it'll be a long, productive one?
If you ask me, all the money and effort being spent on remodeling his next forever home seem like a big waste and short-sighted.
After all, if the guy thought he had a fruitful future ahead, he would have kept the job till death parted him from it, as I understand is the custom.
So Catholics, pay your respects, and Mainstream Media, marvel at and over-report this once in a lifetime royal resignation, but please stop speculating about what's ahead for the first Pope Emeritus. It's the same future that awaits us all.
