I guess I was meant to hear this almost as soon as it happened: as I tossed and turned near 5 a.m. I heard these words from a local news reporter on one of those early news shows: The Vatican announced today that Pope Benedict XVI will resign at the end of the month.
This is something I never considered possible since the last Pontiff to resign did so about 600 years ago.
This news is so new that not even my normal news feeds have the story up at this early hour.
More as the story continues to develop.
