I respect and in fact praise Pope Benedict for thinking of the institution he loves and retiring so someone more vigorous can take the helm of the Catholic Church.
It is a unselfish act of a world leader in his own right, and an example of humility we need more of in the world.
He will spend the next several months at Castel Gandolfo, the summer residence. I wish him the best.
