A sign
from GOD? As Lighting strikes the basilica of St.Peter's dome in Rome on the
same day Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation.
The Catholic Church was
thrown into turmoil today after Pope Benedict XVI made the shock decision to
quit the papacy because of his deteriorating health.
In a decision that has
surprised even his closest aides, the 85-year-old Pontiff said his strength was
'no longer adequate to continue in office due to his advanced age'.
