Why did the pope retire? [View all]

Watching Hardball and Tweety doesn't even question why he retired. I have no doubt it's the mounting evidence that he covered up all of the child molestation. Maybe its because I just watched Mea Maximus Culpa on HBO last week. Maybe the movie was part of the motivation. Maybe I'm nuts.

He resigned because of the sex scandal, what is known or what is yet to be uncovered.
