How about this. Should there even be a pope? The whole idea seems dated and unnecessary.

I say, yes. Let him face the consequences of his sins and set an example.
Yes, he should step down. It's easy for me to say that though because the existence of such a position at all seems ridiculous. Not removing that priest in Germany years ago, who was said to be likely to molest kids again and then did, is inexcusable.

His actions are understandable, albeit idiotic to most people, but as a leader you have to do what's best for your organization. Benedict's "sins" can't hold a candle to some of his predecessors, you act as if he was raping children on Easter in front of their mothers.
This is the only post in here that makes sense^
