Remembering he is the leader of one of the biggest institutions in the world and has Parkinson's disease for 10 years.

Man, yo got it all wrong! He was not "forced" to continue working, it was his decision, he is the only one who can decide in which moment wants to cease been the Pope. He has already stated many times that as long as his intellectual capacities are ok, he will continue rulling the Church. That a person is old shouldn't be an impediment to do his work. I'm convinced that this Pope has made a great deal of work to make this place a better world. Anyway, i think he will die soon and then, we will have a new Pope, let's pray for the new Pope to be a tremendous example of human beeing as John Paul II and to take actions in some of the religious needs of the catholics around the world.
