Not everyone on Twitter finds Pope's resignation funny

The Vatican said on Monday in a shock announcement that Pope Benedict XVI will resign his office on February 28.

    Why do people have to be so rude about the pope resigning? Why can't you be respectful of Catholics.

    I get that I'm naive and a bit of a pacifist, but I just wish people could respect others differences. Pope jokes are just rude. #notcool

    So the Pope is resigning. People need to cut it out with the rude jokes. It's not cool to make fun of an old man. #growuptwitter

    Twitter often at its worst at times like this. 95 percent of the pope jokes just not funny. But everyone feels they have to make quip.

    True to Twitter, the Pope's resignation is met first with shock, surprise, then every rude, snarky, and disrespectful comment possible.

    It is shame how some people are turning the Pope resigning into a joke. It is rude. Respect is something my generation seems to lack.

    All the "pope is resigning" jokes have been written. Please stop. It's not personal, we all feel this way.

    While humor is refreshing, all of the jokes coming in about our Pope retiring are a bit rude

    Some tweeting “Pope Benedict XVI jokes don’t offend Christians”. Tell them “Virgin Mary” jokes and then see the reaction.
