THE RESIGNATION OF POPE BENEDICT XVI

And so Pope Benedict XVI has become the first Roman Catholic Pope to resign from office in six hundred years.  And this is a huge blow to a huge multi-billion dollar industry.  What will this do to all the bibles, crucifixes, Christian gosple related film and albums and church donations that the Pope has resigned from office.  Plus, the Roman Catholic Church has it's own seperate country within Italy known as Vatican City.  Vatican City is the only country on Earth where Christinity is the only industry available.  Saint Peter the Apostle was widely considered to be the first Pope of the Roman Catholic Church and he died by crucifixion (Folk stories claim that Pope Peter I, the Apostle was crucified upside down).  And if Pope Benedict XVI was hired to replace Pope Peter I, the Apostle and he recently resigned from office (On Ash Wednesday, Lent and Easter for crying out loud.  Come on, that's the busiest day for Catholics), is anything sacred anymore.  Instead of living in a converted monistary, the soon to be resigned Pope Benedict will live in Vatican City---Only a stones throw away from his soon to be recruited replacement.  Oh yes, that's going to be awkard.
Oh yes, here are some photos of Pope Benedict XVI from his recent vacation to Mexico City, Mexico way back when things were great and resignation wasn't a possiblity.

GIANT STATUES OF JESUS CHRIST CONTINUED...

By now, you already have heard that her Excellency President Dilma Vana Rousseff is playing host to the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

And when I tell the Gentle Reader that the 2016 Summer Olympic Games will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I'm telling the Gentle Reader the following information.  That one of the landmarks that the Olympic flag will be waving over is going to be a giant mountain top statue of Jesus Christ called Cristo Redentor. 

And when I tell the Gentle Reader that the Cristo Redentor is a gigantic statue of Jesus Christ, what I'm telling the Gentle Reader is that the Cristo Redentor is either the same size as the Statue of Liberty or possibly even taller than that.  And it's perched on top of Corcovado Mountain located in Tijuca Forest National Park.  At 130 feet in length, the Cristo Redentor is the fifth tallest statue of Jesus Christ in the world and it's the tallest art deco statue in the world.  The Cristo Redentor is only the fifth largest Jesus Christ statue in the world.

Not to be outdone, Świebodzin, Poland also built themselves a statue of Jesus Christ called Pomnik Chrystusa Króla aka Christ the King.  Built on top of an intentional pile of rocks, stones and assorted other debris, the Christ the King statue is 108 feet in height (I'm guessing that also includes the crown).  So if you're ever on vacation to Świebodzin, Poland, be sure to visit this statue too whenever you get the chance to do so.

Located in Cochabamba, Bolivia, we have the Cristo de la Concordia which is another gigantic statue of Jesus also located in South America.  Built on a pedistal that's not nearly as sloppy looking as the Polish Christ the King statue, the  Cristo de la Concordia is 132.7 feet tall.
