Dontcha love how the Vatican now has all these new "Traditions" about the Popedom?

He will now be called the Pope Emeritus who will serve as a Consultant to the Papacy. He won't wear the Pappi ring but you are still expected to kiss the hand. He will also still retain the name of Benedict XVI. It's kinda like when people refer to Sarah Palin as Governor. It doesn't matter that both of them are quitters. Especially of jobs that God told them to do.

I wonder if they'll make him a Saint before he dies. There are so many new Church traditions they can create now! Give it a generation or so and they'll all be holy and sanctified and everyone will know they're ordered by God hisself.
