Pope to Resign -Monday Feb 11,2013


Pope Benedict said on Monday he will resign on Feb 28 because he no longer has the strength to fulfil the duties of his office


The 85-year-old pope said he had noticed that his strength had deteriorated over recent months "to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfil 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," he said according to a statement from the Vatican.
