by special request

pope benedict xvi quit being the pope today. Usually you have to die to stop being pope. the last pope to quit outright instead of dying was Celestine V in 1294. pope benedict, a former member of the hitler youth, says that he is too old and sick to carry on. he's probably right.

this was benedict xvi's papal crest. stay tuned to hear about the new pope and his crest. (CANT WAIT!)

The charges of the arms — the Moor's head, Corbinian's bear, and scallop — appeared on the Pope's previous coat of arms, used when he was Archbishop of Munich and Freising. However, they not only relate to his origins, but also to his trust in God, to which Christians are called so as to endure the world's travails and hardships, as well the Pope's calling to spread this faith to others.
