Could Jesus retire? The Pope is going to, almost the same thing.
How much money does the Pope make, and will he still get retirement the same as our "government" officials, how about Secret Service, or whatever they call it over there. What did they do six centuries ago when that Pope retired? I wonder, too, if there was any "bonus" money paid to him. I wonder if he even has a bank account, or has any insurance agent gotten to him to work on his retirement program.
"Hello, ah, I'm Harry Johnson with Metropolitan, and I was wondering, who I could talk to about setting up a nice retirement program for the Pope, is he in right now. I've heard some folks get an "audience" with him, do I have to do that, and are there gonna be all those people in the room too, some of the questions might be kinda personal."
Can you imagine the chaos in the world if Jesus announced that he was retiring. "Well, I just don't think enough people believe in me anymore. I see all that is going on in the world, and, well, I just get discouraged. If Benedict can do it, then I may give it a shot. People can still believe in me whether I'm in the office or not, let's face it, the whole thing is built on faith."
