Pope Benedict Vows Not to Interfere With Succession Process
Pope Benedict XVI will not interfere in the affairs of his successor after his decision to resign later this month, the pontiff's brother has said.
Georg Ratzinger told the BBC the Pope would only "make himself available" if he were needed.
The Pope said on Monday he would resign after nearly eight years as the head of the Catholic Church because he was too old to continue at the age of 85.

I doubt he's really Catholic but why don't they elect Jeremy Irons. He's does a fine job playing a pope on TV.
