I am not a catholic but we should make Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith the pope.
Kodithuwakkuarachchi Tuesday, 12 February 2013 07:14 AM
If I were pope I would have resigned long time ago seeing all these pedophilia happening in Catholic churches around the world.
raj Tuesday, 12 February 2013 11:01 AM
Do you think pedophilia is happening only in the Catholic church. Its happening in all the religions, only thing the other relion has suppressed the victims by money or death.
raj Tuesday, 12 February 2013 11:01 AM
They are not Catholics. Muslims don't like people joke about the prophet, but they will insult other religion, the for Buddhists.
raj Tuesday, 12 February 2013 10:56 AM
Why are you worried about the Catholics? What forced Rizana to go to Saudi? Don't insult the pope.
Anton James Tuesday, 12 February 2013 08:30 AM
This is not the first resignation of a Pope, it last happened 600 years ago.,
DD Tuesday, 12 February 2013 07:41 AM
It does not matter if there is a pope or not because Jesus lives forever..

May be he Might Found the Truth and Embrace Islam.
Calistus Jayatilleke Tuesday, 12 February 2013 06:22 AM
God has give the Holy Father the courage and wisdom to call it quits due to physical infirmity, although as per tradition he could have gone on until his death. This is a great example in a world where politicians, especially in our country, never think of hanging their boots however much physically weak they are, due to greed for power. Let us pray to almighty God that they too be given the courage and wisdom to say enough is enough. Amen.
Cynic Tuesday, 12 February 2013 06:15 AM
There is a rumour that the Pope resigned in disgust after shaking hands with Mervin and Malaka.
SL Tuesday, 12 February 2013 05:55 AM
Yep, people tend to loose their mind when they get old and see illusions.
raj Tuesday, 12 February 2013 03:11 AM
Christianity does not up with an explanation for anything. Either you believe in Christianity or not.
ChickenParippu Tuesday, 12 February 2013 03:07 AM
some people are so narrow minded that they cannot stop relating every single thing to local politics.
Dalu banda Monday, 11 February 2013 11:50 AM
Could be an international conspiracy. But the word 'Resignation ' is unknown to this part of the world.
pooooojapakse Monday, 11 February 2013 01:08 PM
