That’s it. After resigning 8 years on the Seat of Peter, Our beloved German Shepherd will hang up the Papal Mitre on Feb, 28. For reasons unknown, but many speculate it is due to sickness. I personally don’t believe in that hogwash excuse. I don’t mean to be conspiracy theorist on here but something s definitely up. And I suspect something big is coming, and it’s not for the better. I’m actually fearing who will take his place :ehh:

The sun will keep shining, the world will keep hating us as it hated Christ, and the Holy Spirit will keep protecting and guiding the Church regardless.

Be not afraid 🙂

No, no, no! God did not give us a spirit of fear! Remember, Jesus told us the gates of Hell will NOT prevail against the Church he founded!

Benedict is 85 years old. It is the world’s most demanding CEO position. My FIL is 82 and he is active, but growing more frail with each passing year. He could not keep up with such a position. I think JPII was a remarkable man and he started a lot younger than Benedict.
 
Pope John Paull II was as frail as an iPhone in his last years of his papacy. Compared to him Benedict is like Tom Brady. I am not saying he is physically capable of pulling anything but nowadays in modern times it’s VEEERRRRRYY rare for a Pope to resign for ANY reason. Yes the Church and Christ will prevail in the end but I think I’m the only one around here that believes that there is some evil in the Church. God only knows what goes on behind the walls of the Vatican. You can’t deny that there are Judases around our Dear Holy Father 😦 I’m optimistic about the Church but not to the point where I’m going to just sit on the sidelines waiting for Jesus to return because I guarantee you all that victory will come at a price.
 
NY Times should not be read by any Catholic.
That paper is not suitable to wrap dead fish in.

Something is up indeed.
 
Yes the NY Times is a sorry excuse for a reliable news source but come on…is ANY news source outside of PBS and EWTN reliable these days 🤷
 
I will bet you good money the next Pope takes the name Peter, Petrus Romanum.

Or he won’t, and all the conspiracists out there may finally give it up.

Pray for our current Holy Father (he is still the Pope until Feb. 28) and for the College of Cardinals.
 
I thank Pope Benedict for his leadership of the Church during these trying times, and will be praying that the College of Cardinals faithfully and prayerfully select the next succesor of St Peter.
 
The anti-Catholics will always demonize Pope Benedict XVI. I’m not surprised at the slightest.
Also, this talk of Pope Benedict XVI resigning would cause discussion after discussion on papabili.
 
I find this to be saddening news for Christianity around the world. This is a very tremulous time period for the faithful. The constant assault on Christian beliefs seems to be having an effect as seen by the growing number of unfaithful and the number of faithful who no longer participate in their Christianity. There will surly be a negative impact on this decision for the next few weeks. The media and the anti-catholic, and anti-christian cumulous will be beating their drums loudly.

I pray that this is for the greater good and that with the passage of time that this decision is in the best interest of all God’s children. I pray that the faithful will stand strong and that the wavering are not lost.
 
My hopes for the next Pope
(chooses a papal name that hasn’t been used in a While)
(Uses the Papal Tiara/Coronation.)
(Hopefully doesn’t use any suspicious icons or symbols in his Papal Arms)
(Pushes the Latin Mass forward and makes it just as prominent as the NO)
(Beautifies and Canonizes Pius XII, John XXIII, Paul VI, JPI and JPII)

Yes my hopes are a little TOO high 😛
 
For Christmas, I gave my sister a coffee mug with a picture of the Holy Father and the words, “I love my German Shepherd!”

NOW what do we do?

Pray for him, and his successor.

I have no doubt that John Paul I was a holy man, but so were many Popes who weren’t canonized. What are the arguments for his case?

I share those hopes with you! I would love the see the Papal Tiara and MUCH more of the Traditional Latin Mass. 🙂 It’s in God’s hands. I’m just very saddened by the news. I love the Holy Father so much.

Yes, his age in years is up.

:rolleyes:

Look, what other corporation would force a man of 85 to continue as CEO? It’s beyond his physical strength, even with all the saints in Heaven praying for him, his body is nothing but human.
 
Here is a prayer for our new pope:

May the Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon earth and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies. Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to our new sheperd a spirit of courage, knowledge, truth, wisdom, and love. By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as succesor to the apostle Peter and vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament of unity, love, and peace for all the world. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ your son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. :amen:
