The surprising news of Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation are continued to draw mixed reactions, although it is gradually being accepted that the prelate was very weak to continue an active role as Pope.

Assistant Parish priest Lweza Fr Emmanuel Mbogo says the resignation of the Pope is not expected to affect the church significantly.

He says that the Church leadership remains unshaken since there are clear guidelines on replacement of a Pope.
