The singer out of Slipknot went to Rome to see the Pope

Most people in my office have their news site of preference open in the background during the day; most people sporadically comment on the headlines.

This morning has mostly been punctuated by people saying "Oh. I didn't know popes could resign."

Ooh, excellent! They've even got some ridiculously byzantine infighting going on. 8-)

... but apparently the sedevantist antipopes aren't even true antipopes, because there aren't enough people who believe them. So they're just nutters.

(Which on the whole is probably for the best. Antipopes are all very well, but I don't think we really want rival claimants to the Holy See tearing up Europe between them ;)

Being a nutter isn't nearly as cool as being an antipope!
