VATICAN CITYJust hours after announcing his resignation from the papacy Monday, Pope Benedict XVI confirmed that he had accepted a lucrative senior analyst position at a New Yorkbased Catholic think tank, the Westchester Institute for Ethics and the Human Person. My years at the Vatican have been tremendously rewarding, but the time has come for me to move on to new challenges, and after interviewing for a variety of different positions, the senior analyst job at the Westchester Institute seemed like the natural next step for my career, said the 85-year-old Benedict, whose extensive résumé reportedly begins with the line Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of Apostles, 2005-2013. With my experience, I believe I can bring a unique perspective to todays most important policy debates, whether its opposing homosexual behavior or denouncing the use of contraception in AIDS-stricken nations. I look forward to getting started this March. Benedict added that he plans to maintain a good relationship with his soon-to-be former employer, just in case any worthwhile positions open up in the future.
