His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI delivered stunning news from the Vatican this morning announcing he will resign as the Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, effective February 28th. Benedict XVI, age 85, in the eighth year of his Pontificate, cited a lack of strength to continue carrying out his duties as the reason for his resignation. A Conclave of the College of Cardinals, the electors of a new Pope is expected to be convened in early to mid March, with the likelihood the next successor to St. Peter as will be in place as Pope by Holy Week and Easter, which begins March 24th.
