The Cable News Network is reporting that the Pope Benedict will be resigning later in the month. The Pope has not given a reason for his decision.

The CNN reports it this way:

“Pope Benedict will resign on February 28, his spokesman Father Federico Lombardi told CNN today. Lombardi did not give a reason for the resignation. Benedict, the 265th pope, is the sixth German to serve as pope and the first since the 11th century. He has led the church during a time in which the church is declining in his native Europe but expanding in Africa and Latin America.”

We shall bring you more details as they come in.
