Corporate Greed prevents such a showing in Momronism (link)

VATICAN CITY (AP) - With a humble "Grazie" as bishops doffed their mitres and applause echoed through St. Peter's Basilica, a frail Pope Benedict XVI began his long farewell by presiding over Ash Wednesday services in a tearful, final public Mass.

"We wouldn't be sincere, Your Holiness, if we didn't tell you that there's a veil of sadness on our hearts this evening," said Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Benedict's longtime deputy, his voice breaking.

"Thank you for having given us the luminous example of the simple and humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord," Bertone said, quoting Benedict's own words when he first appeared before the faithful above St. Peter's Square after he was elected pope.

Smiling and clearly moved, Benedict responded, "Grazie. Now let us return to prayer" – his words bringing to an end the resounding applause that had grown in intensity over several minutes.

Then, in a rare gesture and sign of respect, the rows of bishops, some with tears in their eyes, removed their mitres. One prelate dabbed at his eyes with a handkerchief.

"Viva il papa!" someone in the crowd shouted as the pope slowly made his way down the steps of the altar, assisted by two clergymen. He then departed St. Peter's for the last time aboard a wheeled platform, sparing him the long walk down the aisle.

YOU WILL NEVER SEE A GREEDY Mormon CORPORATION LEADER CHOSE THE SHEEPLE OVER THE MONEY.

Popes get to choose their name.

Now that he has stepped down, will he be known as "Ex-Benedict?"

I am sorry... I must associate...
catholic -> pope -> menu in a restaurant ->

As You read in another thread (did You?)
"Hungarian Cardinal Péter Erdő, is considered the European frontrunner to become the next pope, sources close to Benedict XVI’s entourage said today."

We have an ultra-right party in the parliament. Neo-Nazi, anti-Semite, racist, homophobic - all republican values You can list.
They commented this news in their way:
- Catholic Cardinal Erdő? He eats frequently in "Fülemüle étterem" (a jewish restaurant) - and orders without using the menu card...
