Pope gives last Sunday address
教皇的最后周末演讲
Crowds cheer for Pope Benedict during his last Sunday address before he steps down this week. Speaking in Italian, he told Catholics gathered in St. Peter's Square in Vatican City that he was not abandoning the Roman Catholic Church. Instead, he would continue to follow God's will and concentrate further on prayer and meditation.
教皇本笃在本周下台前发表了最后一次周日演讲，大量群众为之欢呼。在意大利的演说中，他告诉聚集在梵蒂冈城圣彼得广场的天主教徒，他不会放弃罗马天主教堂。相反，他将继续遵循神的旨意，进一步专注于祷告和冥想。
Benedict is the first pope to leave his post in 600 years. Under his reign, the church has been beset by corruption and child sexual abuse scandals. Many also say the pope lacked the charisma and power to unify of his predecessor Pope John Paul II. The papacy will become vacant on Thursday evening as cardinals around the world prepare their to elect a new leader from amongst their ranks.
教皇本笃是是600年来第一个离职的教皇。在他的统治时期，教会一直被腐败和儿童性虐待丑闻困扰着。很多人说教皇缺乏像前任教皇约翰·保罗二世样的魅力和力量来统一教会。周四，教皇职位将空缺，世界上各地的红衣主教正准备从他们自己的队伍里选出新的领导人。
