I commend Pope Benedict for breaking new ground in resigning and wish him well in retirement. On Monday he made the announcement in Latin, and reportedly some of the Cardinals in attendance didn’t understand what he was saying! Hopefully the new Bishop of Rome—with the responsibility of the Apostle Peter’s teaching ministry—will proclaim the Gospel of Jesus in a language and way that people throughout the world can understand. In that way, the Gospel can be truly “good news,” calling us to conversion and new life in Christ.
