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."

I'm surprised the word is resign rather than abdicate or something.
And (according to Vatican sources) The Pope never even said to his aide?

I believe it's happened once before. It was mentioned when Papa Ratzo got elected.
