Social media is taken by surprise by Pope Benedict XVI's February 28 resignation

MANILA, Philippines – “It’s shocking!”

Pope Benedict XVI on Monday, February 11, announced that he will resign February 28. 

Social media was taken by surprise by the announcement. “Shocked, bewildered, flabbergasted. I didn’t knew that’s allowed” said @rorounijenni on Twitter.

Like @cocoy, some tweet their speculations on what they think may be the “real” reason behind his resignation, “I’m taking it at face value. I guess he’s tired/old age?” 

“Always a bad sign when the boss jumps ship!” tweeted @kimgrocott.
