What is really behind the Pope's resignations?

It had been a very long time since I witnessed a human being declare his/hers own weakness and the Pope's decision to retire has moved me. I'm not a catholic, I'm not a believer in God but this decision (made public with plenty of dignity) is important.

      Feb 13 2013: Great sense of humor but it's a very strong rumour that our ex PM, Kevin Rudd has thrown his hat in the ring for the job. Feels it will give him more power than PM of our little outpost! Ha ha ha.

      Leader of the opposition is also a staunch Catholic but he seems rather obsessed with his budgies so not sure he'd like to hid them behind those papal robes.
