So, Benedict set the precedent that the pope can retire and still live in the Vatican. What if the new guy wants to retire? Pope clubhouse?
@Beyerstein Seems inevitable in age when people are living longer. Lifetime job no longer makes sense.

@HeerJeet The Vatican should probably consider a "You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here" policy for ex-popes. -
@Beyerstein Yes. The weirdest thing about Benedict's resignation was decision to continue living in Vatican. Can't see this working out well - Show replies

@HeerJeet@Beyerstein Not really. They just elect older pontiffs than in the old days. Medici was elected at 38, Borgia at 61, etc. -

@alon_levy@HeerJeet Glad that's over. A thirty-something pope would spark so many annoying think pieces.
