The news is stunning. I'm sorry to see this.

Orthodoxy SUCKS.

Pope Benedict XVI on Monday said he plans on resigning the papal office on February 28. The following is the full text of Benedict's declaration:

Dear Brothers,

I have convoked you to this Consistory, not only for the three canonizations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church. After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry. I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering. However, in today's world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me. For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the Cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is.

Dear Brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects. And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff. With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the Holy Church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer.

From the Vatican, 10 February 2013

BENEDICTUS PP XVI

I'm not a particularly great fan of his. I don't know his heart. I've read plenty on both sides.

However, I believe there's something to the prophecies that the Pope after him will be thoroughly evil.

This is sad news.

Part of me wonders how much of it has been nudged along by the issue in my signature.

Still having trouble with boundaries I see Quix. That's the sad knews for me.

..as if God wanted to give you, Quix, this kind of knowledge so you could warn the rest of us.

What if I asked you for chapter and verse on this "prophecy"?

Would it likely appear obvious to us all that your presumption is being presented as God facts?

ACTUALLY,

You, Sir, are the one engaging in PRESUMPTIONs about me, on this score.

The prophecies were ROMAN CATHOLIC:

God bless Pope Benedict.

I think this shows great integrity on his part at face value.

Quix,

This is not the place to post your conspiracies. This is the news section. You have your very own forum to post these conspiracies in and it would be nice if you would keep them there.

I think you are likely quite right. At least more so than a list of his predecessors.

I agree. I was thinking that it would be nice if some of our aged senators, representatives and judges had the same integrity to do the same.

ACTUALLY, the Malachy prophecies have nothing to do with the globalist conspiracy--unless you are calling who . . . ?God? a co-conspirator? because He sets up and takes down leaders per His own Word.

Those prophecies have been discussed at length re Pope Benedict the whole of his reign. The thread about his resignation is an entirely fitting place to mention them. If I didn't, someone else would or should.

His resignation naturally points to who will succeed him. ANY INFORMED person would IMMEDIATELY think of the Malachy prophecies as they describe his successor.

I think your feelings against me are coloring your assessment of what is news and not news.

Sigh.

Are you Catholic? Trashing Cardinals is unbecoming.

Malachy's prophecy are considered among modern scholars to be a 16th forgery for partisan political reasons. He struck out more often than not.

Get over yourself.

You do not have the knowledge of God and how He runs the world.

If you understood prophecy as much as you claim you do, you would have sounded the alarm long ago and forewarned the world that Pope Benedict would not serve until his death.

Get some fresh air and think about how poorly you portray yourself on this board. And then ask yourself why there is push-back from your extremism.

Quit playing the martyr. This is a news section. Remember, most of us do not believe the conspiracy theories. It is not news. It is speculation at best and not appropriate to post all over the forum. You have been given a forum to discuss them. Use it.
