Are There Skeleton's In Benedict's Closet?

[flobadob]

Pope Benedict seemed to jump ship in quite a rushed manner. It almost appeared that he was pushed. Are there skeleton's in the closet that may come out?

blame AB, AP: it puts capitals in all the question titles.

There is a quite a bit of radio chatter about a huge scandal just about to break in the Catholic Church, which could account for Herr Benedict's rather hurried departure. The scandal involving paedophile priests would seem to be a bit old hat now, so its probably not that.

The consensus of opinion would seem to point in the direction of the Vatican Bank.

I doubt that the scandal could be about why the Catholic Church doesn't use some of its truly vast wealth to ease extreme poverty in areas of the world where it appears to be so popular.

↑ I'm not sure that the bangers of the bible, koran, torah, tipitaka, guru granth sahib, etc. would agree with you but it's very nice of you to say so!
