| My guess is senility; he's probably been advised to step down before he makes a (bigger) ass of himself in public. Someone who preaches peace and tolerance is an "ass of himself." Nice to know that.... Someone who tells people not to wear condoms because it's a sin, someone who protects pedophiles ... |

I also have depression and anxiety, along with high prolactin, and the problem is, antidepressants only make me gain more weight. I'm also knocked out most of the time: I even feel too sleepy to do my daily activites, let alone exercise  . |

| An obsolete man resigns from an obsolete institution. In fact, religion as a whole is obsolete. I wonder if it's the scandals that really made him step down. I don't buy the "advanced age" excuse. After all, popes are supposed to be popes until they die. |

I'm not studying it as a career, but I'm training to be a soprano and I love it. I have stage fright too, but I think my love of singing overpowers it. My biggest issue is th... |
