Pope Benedict to resign at the end of the month

The 85-year-old pope is resigning "because of advanced age," Benedict told the cardinals of the Catholic Church on Monday.

 

The last pope to resign was Gregory XII in 1415. He did so to end a civil war within the church in which more than one man claimed to be pope.

 

Benedict, the 265th pope, is the sixth German to serve as pope and the first since the 11th century. He became pope in 2005.
