Big news for the Holy See this morning.

Dear Brothers,
I have convoked you to this Consistory, not only for the three canonizations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church. After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry. I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering. However, in today’s world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me. For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the Cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is.Dear Brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects. And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff. With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the Holy Church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer.
From the Vatican, 10 February 2013
BENEDICTUS PP XVI

    Good morning Hamsters. Brief rain, cold and clear at the moment, with the low at 52 around 7 am. Now 54 and sure feels like a front has passed. More rain to come sayeth the weather wizards, and that would be nice since only dribbles have landed here so far.
    With the letter above from Pope Benedict 16, the unchurched or loosely churched (or hinged) libs in the media will be yapping and roaring about who ought to be his successor. They will also be crowing about their prognostication that Benedict 16 would only be a “transitional” Pope, never mind the he as sat in the Chair of Peter for almost 8 years. And by the way, aren’t we all “transitory” beings? 🙂
    In their pomposity they will be suggesting candidates to the College of Cardinals, as if they have any influence at all, looking for the most liberal one(s) to push so as to fulfill their fantasies of 2005 that, failing elevation of a more “modern” Cardinal, Benedict 16’s reign certainly would be transitional–as in brief–because of his age. And drat, what a hardliner he was. They are gonna be fun to watch while the serious business of selecting his replacement goes on, undoubtedly with his advice.
    I like Benedict 16 and respect his decision, for he is honest about his intentions and his limitations. Bravo.

    The last Pope to resign was 600 years ago. Here’s hoping Benedict’s appointment of cardinals over the last 8 years has further eroded the influence of liberation theology priests. There’s not much chance of it but I’d like to see Archbishop Dolan as Pope.

    This article in Drudge is interesting:
    1) It appears the noose is tightening around this corrupt Democrat’s (redundant, I know) neck.
    2) This sentence illustrates the decline in quality of both reporting and editing at the tired, worn-out, old, grey hag, The NYT:

    “Nobody has bought me, No. 1. Nobody. Never,” Mr. Menendez said in an interview late last week with Univision, the Spanish-language news station. “In the 20 years that I have been in Congress, never has it been suggested that this could even be possible.”

    One does not have to be a spelling/grammar Nazi to guffaw at that one.

    All Cardinals who are presently eligible to vote were elevated by either B16 or JP2. This makes me tend to believe the new Pope will tend toward tradition and be fairly conservative.
    I’m also thinking we may see the first non-European Pope since the very early Church. This should also bode well for those of us who like to see much more conservative clergy.
    Bishops in general and Cardinals in particular tend to be virtually deaf to the “demands” of the modern media. Maybe it’s because they don’t get invited to all the cool parties with all the beautiful people.
    One of the tests of the new Pope’s suitability will be who among, how many of, and exactly how the media members go apoplectic upon the announcement of the new Pontiff.

    Gunman goes nuts in a courthouse in Delaware. I would assume that there are metal detectors at all the entrances and a check of bags, packages, etc. as well. Two things:
    1. Having a gun in that environment shows the futility of gun control in general.
    2. The gunman appears to be the only person who got dead (although he managed to wound several). This lends credence to the notion that having lots of armed people around minimizes the harm that a nutter can do before he gets shot and stays shot.

    Again Cardinals are very resistant to such pressure. They are guided by the Holy Spirit who is utterly immune to such pressure.
    They also vote in complete secrecy, which also helps a lot.

    The power of a chicken salad sandwich.

    Legislature passes bill to pay for governor’s “chicken salad and punch”
    February 11, 1915
    On this day in 1915, the state legislature passed an appropriations bill to pay for expenses incurred by former governor Oscar Branch Colquitt for “chicken salad and punch,” among other items, during his term in office. An ensuing legal battle, known as the “Chicken Salad Case,” lasted until June 1916, when Justice William Seat Fly ruled that the legislature could appropriate for fuel, water, lights, and ice necessary for the Governor’s Mansion, but not for groceries and other personal needs of the governor. Colquitt’s successor as governor, Jim Ferguson, had continued to purchase groceries with state money under this appropriation. Ferguson testified under oath that he would repay the state if the Supreme Court decided against him, but failed to do so. In September 1917 the High Court of Impeachment held that Ferguson was guilty of a misapplication of public funds. The Court of Impeachment, by a vote of twenty-five to three, removed Ferguson from office and made him ineligible to hold any office of honor, trust, or profit under the state of Texas. Ferguson continued to exert considerable political influence, however, through the political career of his wife, Miriam (Ma) Ferguson who became the first woman Governor of Texas.

    A married senior couple, after almost eleven hours on the road were too tired to continue and decided to take a room. But, they only planned to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road.
    When they checked out four hours later, the desk clerk handed them a bill for $350.00.
    The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He told the clerk although it’s a nice hotel; the rooms certainly aren’t worth $350.00 for four hours. Then the clerk tells him that $350.00 is the ‘standard rate’. He insisted on speaking to the Manager.
    The Manager appears, listens to him, and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center that were available for us to use.
    “But we didn’t use them,” the husband said.
    “Well, they are here, and you could have,” explained the Manager.
    The Manager went on to explain that the couple could also have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous. “We have the best entertainers from New York , Hollywood , and Las Vegas perform here,” the Manager says.
    “But we didn’t go to any of those shows,” the husband said.
    “Well, we have them, and you could have,” the Manager replied.
    No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, the husband replied, “But we didn’t use it!”
    The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the husband gave up and agreed topay. As he didn’t have the check book, he asked his wife to write the check. She did and gave it to the Manager.
    The Manager is surprised when he looks at the check. “But ma’am, this is made out for only $50.00.”
    “That’s correct. I charged you $300.00 for sleeping with me,” she replied.
    “But I didn’t!” exclaims the Manager.
    “Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have.”
    Don’t mess with senior citizens….. They didn’t get there by being stupid.

    Pope Benedict is showing a great amount of humility, grace, and common sense. He admits that the job is now too big for him to handle. By stepping aside, he is thinking of the good of the Church, and not his own aggrandizement.
    Would that our president have the same consideration of his people.

    There is a prophesy floating around, not sure if it’s related. There’s a belief/superstition that when the last place for a statue of all the popes on the colonnade around St. Peter’s Square is taken, then the world is done.

    My back is still killing me. I was out of town on a trip with some friends, and they were so kind in accommodating my pain and stiffness. It’s been ice, pain killers, and pillows all weekend. But we had a good time, and I’m glad I went. The pain’s not quite as bad as it was on Friday, but I’m considering a second trip to the chiropractor.

    RE: new pope
    I remember on our trip to Italy, our B&B host was openly hostile to having a German pope. He made it very clear he didn’t like him. I know there are “progressives” (holy crap, how I hate that euphemism!), are pushing for a black pope. like color has anything to do with the job. There’s already friction with blacks there, as the Somalians there are like our Mexican illegals here. I can only imagine the reaction if a black is chosen Pope.

    From my email:

    Texan Baby
    A Texan is drinking in a New York bar when he gets a call on his cell phone. He hangs up, grinning from ear to ear, and orders a round of drinks for everybody in the bar announcing his wife has produced a Typical Texas baby boy weighing 25 pounds.
    Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at 25 pounds, but the Texan just shrugs, “That’s about average down home, folks like I said, my boy’s a typical Texas baby boy.”
    Congratulations showered him from all around, and many exclamations of “WOW!” We heard one woman actually fainted due to sympathy pains.
    Two weeks later he returns to the bar. The bartender says, “Say you’re the father of that typical Texas baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth
    Everybody’s been making bets about how big he’d be in two weeks. So how much does he weigh now?
    The proud father answers, “Seventeen pounds.”
    The bartender is puzzled, concerned, and a little suspicious. “What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds the day he was born!”
    The Texas father takes a slow swig from his Lone Star beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and proudly says:

    It’s amazing to see how rabidly anti-Catholic some people are. It’s so sad, to see such irrational hate towards anything. I’ve seen all sorts of accusations this morning.
    We’re a cult. We’re pagans. We’re in bed with the Mafia. We won’t kiss the ring of a black pope because we’re a bunch of racists. We’re homophobes. We hate women. We hate everybody. Every priest runs around poking little boys. They run around poking women. (Someone needs to make up their collective minds, but I think the boy thing wins out.) We’re evil. We’re secretly worshiping Satan. We hate Jews. We love Jews.
    We’ve been called all sorts of names, not allowed here. Some start with c, some with b, some wtih a, all have have the adjective that rhymes with mucking. The pope should slit his wrists. He’ll be laughing in hell with Hitler.
    The absolute anger and rage on display is appalling and frightening. Can there be this much hate out there, over a religion that, despite the flaws of the humans inhabiting it, has done so much good for the world? That promotes peace? That has fed the poor? That has provided shelter for the homeless?
    I have learned to separate the Faith of the Church, the precepts thereof, from the humans inside of it. I can never be angry at the Church, though I may be disappointed at the human weaknesses of the people running it at times. Mistakes must be rectified and restitution paid, but the word of Christ still rules the faith. This much anger means that there are a lot of people who don’t recognize this difference.
    Maybe it says something, these reactions. Obviously, the pope is living rent-free inside of a lot of heads. That might be a good thing.

    Gov Goodhair is puttin a whoopin on Moonbeam Brown.

    HEADLINE: Texas Trumps Governor Moonbeam
    Texas governor Rick Perry knows how to start a rumble. Last week, he spent a mere $24,000 on radio ads in California, urging firms there to move to Texas, with its “zero state income tax, low overall tax burden, sensible regulations, and fair legal system.” The ad goaded Governor Jerry Brown into telling reporters that Perry’s effort wasn’t news. “It’s not a burp,” he sneered. “It’s barely a fart.”
    But his insult generated dozens of stories about the differences between Texas and California, playing into Perry’s hands. He begins a four-day barnstorming tour of California today, touting Texas’s virtues to business owners.

    The dowry. The brides family (in India) must pay the dowry. This used to be the case in China, but after so many girls being aborted, the policy is starting to be reversed. In China now, there is a male/female imbalance in the 40 million range. Can you imagine 40 million men with no chance of marriage? Dya think they may be a touch on the irritable side and be inclined to commit sex crimes?

    An Irish priest was transferred to Texas .
    Father O’Malley rose from his bed one morning. It was a fine spring day in his new west Texas mission parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside. He then noticed there was a jackass lying dead in the middle of his front lawn. He promptly called the local police station.
    The conversation went like this:
    “Good morning. This is Sergeant Jones. How might I help you?”
    “And the best of the day te yerself. This is Father O’Malley at St. Ann ‘s Catholic Church. There’s a jackass lying dead in me front lawn and would ye be so kind as to send a couple o’yer lads to take care of the matter?”
    Sergeant Jones, considering himself to be quite a wit and recognizing the foreign accent, thought he would have a little fun with the good father, replied, “Well now Father, it was always my impression that you people took care of the last rites!”
    There was dead silence on the line for a long moment…….
    Father O’Malley then replied: “Aye,’tis certainly true; but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin first, which is the reason for me call.

With the high infant mortality rate they needed four sons to ensure one would live to bury the dad. Of course they were all dirt poor so females are/were an unnecessary expense and thus were disposed of.
    As an aside the government in trying to stop the runaway birth rate, the video mentioned a two child rule, offered a transitor radio to men who got vasectomies. It was working well until they found out the men coming in already had large families, thus ensuring the dad would be buried by a son.

    OK, so I’m listening to Michael Berry and a gal calls in that is divorced and driving a garbage truck, making $44K a year, has a 18 year old son and an absentee husband. She reminded me of Southern Tragedy and sounded JUST like her! Down to the slightly gruff laugh, Spooky,…. the gal was from Alvin. 😉

    Heh heh. Some maroon from the AFLCIO just came to my door trying to get me to sign a petition demanding Perry implement the Obamacare provisions in Texas. I don’t think he was expecting me.

    Maybe her backyard graveyard got full and she needed another means of easy disposal and took on another line of work. 😀

    He wasn’t one of your Yankee union thugs we’re used to seeing in the media. He was very polite, as was I. But I did tell him I thought his organization was a scourge on our society, that the Affordable Care Act was nothing more than a Marxist wealth redistribution ponzi scheme that would bankrupt the nation faster while providing less coverage for those that needed it most, and that while I was not a fan of Jimmy Dick, I salute him for refusing to play along with Bronco. He couldn’t get to the next house fast enough.

    Wagon;
    I never doubted that The Pope was prayerful in his decision to resign. I’m certain he’s following the dictates of the Holy Spirit in his decision. Thanks for posting an official account of his announcement.

    After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God

    That’s the way to do it.
