The Forum: Papal resignation: a complex canonical issue special to CWNews.com Feb. 09 (CWNews.com) - The latest medical crisis of Pope John Paul II (bio - news), who has now been hospitalized for a week, has reignited media speculation about the possibility that the Pope might resign. Although that possibility always been dismissed by Vatican officials, the speculation in Rome persists. In a February 7 session with reporters, Cardinal Angelo Sodano (bio - news) suggested that the question of resignation should be left "up to the conscience of the Pope, who is guided by the Holy Spirit." The Holy Father himself has given every indication that he plans to continue serving as Roman Pontiff until his death. ------------------------ Yahoo!
