Let The Next Pope Derby begin!

The latest reports out of the Vatican have people reporting the the current Pope, Ratzy Red Shoes, has shown signs of weakening.
People who have spent time with him recently say they found him weaker than they'd ever seen him, seemingly too tired to engage with what they were saying. He no longer meets individually with visiting bishops. A few weeks ago he started using a moving platform to spare him the long walk down St. Peter's Basilica.

Benedict turns 85 in the new year, so a slowdown is only natural. Expected. And given his age and continued rigorous work schedule, it's remarkable he does as much as he does and is in such good health overall: Just this past week he confirmed he would travel to Mexico and Cuba next spring.

But a decline has been noted as Benedict prepares for next weekend's grueling Christmas celebrations, which kick off two weeks of intense public appearances. And that raises questions about the future of the papacy given that Benedict himself has said popes should resign if they can't do the job.
No way he resign, people don't give up that kind of power. In the meantime, all those who want to take his place have stepped up their politicking among the College of Cardinals. No idea who will actually succeed but one thing is sure. Thanks to all the Cardinals they made, he will be a conservative, Beatitudes hating tight ass like Ratzy and JP2.
