Pope Benedict XVI's resignation is big on buzz but is not the stunning surprise claimed by many pundits.

To trust God, as seen in the face of His Son, and to believe that He loves us, that is faith, that is what we must do to be saved. And to love God, as seen in the face of His Son, and to seek to testify our love by our whole life, — that is Christian duty; that is all we have to do.
