    Thought they just died!! Saw a trailer for a film about abuse in the Catholic Church last night - wonder if that's played a part in his decision

    Apparently, he misses the "hands on" side of being a Catholic priest!

    He was a member of the Hitler Youth, but it was kind of compulsory back then

    Just a few days after Tom Pope signed a new contract too.

    Guess you can never second-guess a Pope.

    Peter Odemwingie is apparently parked by the Vatican wanting to move there.

    I guess not many resign because it's hard to find something to do next. Once you've been God's right hand man then it'd just feel weird downsizing.

    Maybe he'll follow in Tony's footsteps and make a killing on the after dinner circuit.
