Pope Benedict resignation

[RunnerBall]

Ok...my birth-mother (I'm adopted) is Catholic. So, lately Ive been becoming more knowledgeable about the Catholic Church. Apparently many Catholics SEEM TO be split on whether a Pope should resign. I'm NOT Catholic, but am just curious as to other's take on this. I understand he did it due to health reasons and the effect on his duties of the office.

Any comments out there on this issue?
