I have been lucky to have in my most formative years as a Catholic been able to witness two truly great and magnanimous Popes. I believe Benedict made the right decision but I fear that this may set a precedent: that resignation is always advisable in the late years of a deteriorating Pontiff. This is not just a job: it is a supreme and holy office. The Holy Father has been appointed by Heaven to lead the earthly Church.
