**JUST IN: Mork Pope Finally Announces Resignation Amid Mounting Pressure**

In a stunning and unexpected announcement, the Mork Pope has officially declared his resignation, citing “irreconcilable burdens” and a need for “renewal in both spirit and governance.” The decision, made public during a brief address from the Moon Basilica earlier today, marks the end of a turbulent era that has deeply divided followers of the Universal Morkian Faith across galaxies.

“After much contemplation and communion with the Orb of Clarity,” the Mork Pope said, “I have come to understand that my continued service may no longer be in the best interest of the cosmic balance.”

The Mork Pope, whose reign began in 2199 following the controversial dissolution of the Neo-Pentagonal Synod, has been a polarizing figure. Admired by some for promoting unity across planetary sects, he has also been criticized for opaque decision-making, recent doctrinal revisions, and his administration’s handling of the Andromedan Outreach scandal.

Reactions have already begun pouring in. High Priestess Val’Nok of the Saturnian Temple praised the move as “a noble act of humility,” while opposition leader Zurn of the Rogue Planets Syndicate claimed it was “long overdue and motivated by fear of further revelations.”

No successor has yet been named, but sources inside the Orbital Conclave say deliberations are already underway. Traditionally, the next Mork Pope is chosen from among the High Orbit Cardinals, although speculation is rife that for the first time, a non-humanoid being may be considered.

The Morkian Faith spans over 200 inhabited worlds and influences both spiritual and political spheres across the known universe. As the faithful prepare for a transitional period, the question remains: will the next pontiff embrace reform—or seek to restore the fading orthodoxy?

The Mork Pope concluded his speech with the cryptic words: “The silence between stars speaks louder now than my voice ever could.”
