Eric Holder, speaking for the President, has declared the United States will not recognize the new Pope unless the College of Cardinals reflects adequate representation of all religions.

So it gets reported that the Catholic 7 schools are closing in on a deal with Fox Sports for between $30 million and $40 million a year, and then all of a sudden the Pope up and quits? Sounds like somebody is angling for the job of founding commissioner of the new Big Priest conference...

And the EPA has declared that real smoke to communicate the voting for a new pope will not be acceptable, because it will contribute to global warming.

The NRA, meanwhile, has released a statement urging members to exercise their Second Amendment rights by bringing assault weapons to the Vatican. Because Jesus believed in a heavily armed citizenry.

So much for the more serious discussions on the matter.

Here's a serious question - how (theologically) does one treat a Papal resignation and the continued presence of a former Pope? Hasn't happened in a long time, and last time it did, the Pope that resigned was one of 3 people claiming that title.
Less seriously, what do we call him on March 1?

I imagine there aren't many people who can resign and go from infallible to fallible.

When on matters of Church teaching (and Church teaching only), an ex cathedra statement is infallible and it has been used only twice since 1794: defining the Assumption and the Immaculate Conception. |

Very few Georgetown students take theology courses that actually address Catholic theology. |

Flash mobs, people, flash mobs. You need to focus on something that the kids today can relate to, that's the real future of the Catholic Church. They can get all the theology they need from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
