Woke up to the alert on my phone. There are certainly happier things to wake up to, but it's a short list.
I'll be very interested in the details as they come out. Supposedly it was news to literally EVERYONE. McCarthy and a few others were told less than five minutes before everyone else.
I'm betting on- A) That's bullshit, and there was enough private discontent he is being forced out "cleanly", B) Some massive scandal involved, C) Some sort of serious illness, likely with a bad prognosis. This is the only one of the three I'd feel sorry for him over. Regardless of the reason I found him to be an utterly weak, two faced, and worthless. It'll be interesting to see who replaces him.
But hey, news to report on this can wait. The POPE IS TALKING!
