Now that is at least a novel explanation of why he quit his job. I can imagine a statement like "Yes, I know I said that if I ever won the lottery, it wouldn't change me and that I love my job, but when you actually have that cheque in your hand, you think 'Stuff this for a game of soldiers, I've got more exciting things to do with my time.' This being Pope malarky can seem like a good gig to begin with but it gets gets really tedious after a while, I can tell you. It's not even as though you get the chance to shag loads of groupies or trash a hotel."
The ex-pontif also admitted that he was lucky in now being actually able to afford to retire, and that the only reason why most of his predecessors worked until they dropped was because the papal pension scheme was crap.

bit unfair though isn't it, he's infallible, surely Popes shouldn't be allowed to take part?

Personally, I'd poke him in the confession box

he actually doesn't get paid for being Pope. "all his temporal needs are taken care off",

"all his temporal needs are taken care off"
Wot even when he retires? The Vatican had better beware: once popes become aware of this, they'll resign a week after getting elected and ride on a gravy train of freebies for the rest of their lives.

not all his temporal needs surely?

all his temporal needs apparently, there is a funny joke in there somewhere just waiting for release.

I'm not really sure what 'temporal' means, but surely, for example, it would exclude a blow job from the mother superior?
