Case 10 - Pope Benedict XVI

 Steve... Steve... get us a pint, mate. Cheers. 

Problem - Pope Benedict XVI (above) has left the Vatican. Breaking a 600-year trend, Benedict took the decision to step down, as opposed to working right up to the Very End and he's now been put out to stud, well the Catholic equivalent. Everything's great now, the world's press can't get enough of him. But soon there'll be Pope XVII and Benedict will be forgotten. Unless...

Solution - Benedict XVI has to stay in the game. Here's how:

1: Continue to Tweet. Now he's no longer the big cheese perhaps Benedict can reposition himself as the Perez Hilton of Catholicism. The occasional bitchy tweet slagging off a Bishop's choice of gown or extracurricular activities would show Benedict's human side.

2: Become the media's global expert on all things Catholic, their go-to guy. What better way to keep himself in the public eye than to be the first on the phone when the sh*t hits the fan? And as Benedict XVI is no longer Pope, he can be as scathing and open as he likes. "Bishop Johnson's been nicked? About time, if you ask me. He's well dodgy. Everyone knew he was a bit of a wrong 'un." Classic Benedict.

3: Revel-all feature in Take a Break.

4: Go anti-Catholic crazy. Get married or something.
