[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Papal audiences are normally held inside a Vatican hall in the winter.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]But such is the level of interest that the event is being held outdoors and 50,000 tickets have been requested. As many as 200,000 [url=http://www.enread.com/news/politics/91947.html]people[/url] may attend.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]After Benedict XVI steps down on Thursday, he will become known as "pope emeritus（退休的）". [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]There has been no papal resignation since Pope Gregory XII abdicated in 1415.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The surprise announcement of Benedict's abdication has required the rules of electing a successor to be changed to allow the next pope to be chosen before Holy Week, which leads up to Easter.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]On Wednesday, the Pope, 85, will be making one of his last public appearances - using his trademark white "popemobile" to greet pilgrims in St Peter's Square.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Organisers say there will be no traditional kissing of the pontiff's hand because of the sheer size of the expected crowd.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"He doesn't want to favour one or the other of the pilgrims," Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi told the AFP news agency.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The BBC's Alan Johnston in Rome says that on Thursday the [url=http://www.enread.com/news/politics/91947.html]Pope[/url] will travel by helicopter to his summer residence at Castel Gandolfo, about 15 miles (24km) south-east of Rome. He will cease to be Pope at 20:00 local time.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]On Tuesday, it emerged that Benedict would be known as "pope emeritus" and would retain the honorific "His Holiness" after his abdication.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]He will also continue to be known by his papal title of Benedict XVI, rather than reverting to Joseph Ratzinger.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]He will wear his distinctive white cassock without any cape or trimmings.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]He will surrender his gold ring of office, known as the fisherman's ring, and his personal seal will be destroyed in the same way as when a pope dies.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][url=http://www.enread.com/news/politics/91947.html]Benedict[/url] will also give up wearing his specially-made red leather loafers, instead wearing brown shoes hand-made for him by a craftsman during a brief visit to Mexico last year, the Vatican said.[/size][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/size][/font][/p][p=30, 2, left][font=simsun][size=14px][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun]更多[/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/size][/font][url=http://www.enread.com/news/index.html][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=宋体, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=24px][color=#ED1C24][b]英语新[/b][/color][/size][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/url][url=http://www.enread.com/news/index.html][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][font=simsun][color=#ED1C24][size=24px][b]闻[/b][/size][/color][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/font][/url][/p]
