Pope Benedict XVI will resign on February 28, 2013, a Vatican spokesman said today Monday February 11th. The 85-year-old German-born Pope said he was resigning because he no longer has the strength to fulfill the duties of his office. If the Pope resigns February 28th, he will be the first pontiff since 1415 to step down. See the Pope’s full resignation statement after the cut...
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.
This is bad but if it is the will of GOD,who are we to question GOD?Whatever the reason is,all i can say is may GOD be with him and give him more strength like never before
It's so strange that the pope is "resigning" fews days after the British parliament passed a law supporting gay marriage. There re two major denominations in Christian dorm which is catholic and Anglican. The Anglican church (except African branches) is already in support of gay marriage. The rate at which the western world is driving this gay thing is increasingly alarming. I just hope the pope wasn't pressurized to "resign" to pave way for a pro-gay pope. We Christians should really pray hard cos the end is near.
And now u av heard of 1...If u are a bIble stUdent,u wld notice dat all d leaders dropped d mantle to dier subordinates b4 dey died---Moses to Joshua...Elijah to Elisha...and many mOOoooOOore#
He was meant to remain on dat seat till he die....dats d oat he took before occupying d possition....its not a political possition,its a seat dat only d person reavled by God after fasting and prayer section by all d vatican cardinal!!
Now he can't rmain there u wan help am? D abomination being committed in churches theses days,lesbians marrying themselves,gays doing same tin,priests being gay under his reign! He diffinately can't stand it anymore! Attrocities 2much,so he has no choice than 2 step down. God knows best.
Awwwwwww(tears rolling down ma cheek) we'll miss u Bonus pastor. No doubt in our world today,d Holy church needs a leader who's in d right frame of mind and body to look over d flocks. we Nigerians will always remain grateful to u for elevating our own John Cardinal Olorunfemi omo Onaiyekan to d position of a prince of d church. we d youths will forever remember d unique recognition you accorded us during ur papacy. The Holy Catholic church will forever cherish and remember u for all d commendable developments witnessed during ur reign. may God bless and keep u Padre mio.
Thank God finally this man will leave after becoming the pope through dubious and callous means(catholics here will understand)...plz cardinal okojie should take over jor!
Something wasn't quite right about Ratzinger. Oh well, let the next tush on the papal throne come from the developing nations since oyibo no gree go church again naa. Dem dey busy dey do homo forget dia God
I am not interested in the pope thing since i found out that; is by politics and racism. The most qualified, capable and younger person is Cardinal Arinze but you people denied him saying; he is from Africa, the western world will not listen to him.
I am not catholic. But I can't help feeling sad he has to resigned in a couple of weeks.such a calm pope.God bless the papacy! God bless devout catholics everywhere!signed:wide eyed.
We keep the pope and church in prayers more than anything. I will surely miss is conservatory approach - a real theologian, he emphasized the role of the bible in the catholic faith.
I'm glad His Holiness knew he could not carry on with his work, it goes to show that peopple can actually forfeit power for their own health. May God continue to bless you ɑ̤̥̈̊п̥̥̲̣̣̣d̶̲̥̅̊ abide in you
I am sure his health must have been failed him and he is not able to perform effectively as a pope. Handing over to a more healthy person is the best option, rather than dying in that position without an impact. Our leaders should learn from this knowing that political positions is not your birth right but an opportunity to make positive changes in their communities NOT chance for embezzlement of public funds.
This is a man who understands d true import of life. Vanity defines all n service is d best form of sacrifice. Our holy father hs done his bit n in consideration of his deteriorating health, sees it fit 2 let go of d reigns of leadership. It's only proper. I wish him improved health, strength n longer days 2 continue his personal service to the church outside d office of bishop!
Why would they choose someone i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ his 70s to ßë T̶̲̥̅ђe̶̲̥̅̊ Pope knowing fully well that age íڪ not on his side. Ok let's assume they prayed ãήϑ heard from God before choosing him; then he shouldn't have resigned believing that God who chose him will give him T̶̲̥̅ђe̶̲̥̅̊ strength to carry on his duties. Unless there íڪ something more to his resignation other than age. #JustSaying# RoSeY

Time to pray seriously,cos am really smalling some foul play...never in a history a Pope resign in his office cos he wasn't call by men but by God...Forces are at wrk,we must be etremly prayerful now as a christain and equally pray for God's intervention in d election Of d new Pope.....End Time is around d corner...Be ready bros/sists
Food for thought:Daddy G.O when you are tired you need to rest and give other a chance to continue your good work and not keep telling the congregation about somebody that is yet to be born again to lead the Church.
I think the Pope has demonstrated a high level of humility and integrity by making this declaration which I'm sure was not an easy one. It is indeed a big lesson to leaders in Nigeria and Africa especially that one is not higher than his/her office. His decision highlights the fact that a position of authority is indeed a call to service and if one feels he is not of sound health of mind and/or body one should politely and quietly resign. Without mentioning any names, there r number of Nigerian governors and leaders who are seriously in poor health--what do they do? They leave their offices vacant for months and affairs of state unattended to for months on end while junketting the globe seeking treatment. Again, No one is bigger than the office they occupy, it is not your heritage. The show must go on.......
True! Hilary clinton stepped bcos of ill health despite the pressure to take up 2nd term. Netherland Queen hand over to daugther cos age/health.. In naija na to die in power...*Ada. Nnewi*
Linda dis is quite strange pope john Paul held on till he died i mean the popes don't get to resign what are they not telling us abi another scandal dey way dem wan try to conceal its unheard of for the pope to resign imagine what will happen if Our Heavenly father tells us that he wants to resign the pope and the ruling cardinals should think about this very well
May the Almighty God grant his request IJN. It is nev an easy wk, but wd God all things re possible,4 us let's nt start loosening hopes blc our Almighty God knws evrytin,blc God knew dat it gonna b like dis a day,month,year like dis, so my dear dot b surprised. It high time 4 we Christians 2 go deep in prayers so as 2 select d chosen 1.Ave Mary....
I love my catholic faith..the solid rock that christ laid for us with st.Peter.remain bless as you retire to life of prayer.I trust the world will talk but be rest assured we remain stronger in our faith in jesus christ with the help of our mother mary to elect a new pope.
THIS IS TRULY HONORABLE.I AM COMPLETELY HUMBLED BY IT.I AM A BORN CATHOLIC,I AM GOING TO MARRY A CATHOLIC AND I AM SURE I WILL DIE A CATHOLIC TOO.AM SO PROUD OF MY FAITH....NIGERIAN LEADERS,PLEASE LEARN FROM THIS.
aww he looks really frail. he has done his best. he really musnt die on the seat. i wish him peaceful life and ask for wisdom upon the Cardinal Fathers as they elect a new pontiff
The man has accepted that he is frail physically to effectively perform the role and responsibilities.
It is a lesson to those public office holders (Suntai, Sullivan Chime, Imoke and their likes) who know they are incapacitated but would rather allow the scenario of Umaru and Turai Yaradua to play out; where others use their name and take advantage of their incapacity to ascribe powers unto themselves.
Yes, according to Canon Law (No. 322, Par 2), a pope can resign from office, provided it is freely made. While this is a rare occurrence, he isn't the first pope to resign (probably about the 5th). Instead of making snide remarks, or making unproven assertions, I think we should respect his decision and move on. And nope I am not catholic - Alero
A pope can resign, just that its very rare! The first pope that resigned was Gregory in the year 1415! Its an Office for life, but you can resign if you feel that you cant perform again due to ill health or personal decision. A pope must not die in office!
A pope can resign base on the cannon code.The last pope resigned in 1415 by name Gregory xii. If it has never been done,the Catholic church known for its rules would have prevented him. He is begin sincere to all by admitting his weak strength for the sake of the mission. Some leaders can learn from this.
Since 1415? See, it's not just d naija factor, but human nature in general. And what does he mean by 'dear brothers?' Once again Linda, ur on point. #thumbsup#
Pope Benedict is still strong when compare to Pope John Paul who was well stricken in age. I hope there is no consipiracy. One day we will hear the gist from the History Channels
wel, he knws he no longer has d strenght to do d duties of a pop.this what happen when people don't give positions 2 a person who is qualified either bcus of d colour or bcus of were him/her is from
What's with all this 'I'm proud to be a catholic, I'll die a catholic'??? See, y'all had better repent of idolatry! Stop worshipping idols! You worship Mary, is that what the Bible asked you to do??? Jesus said, no one cometh to the Father except by Me. He didn't say,'except by Mary'. Better stop walking in ignorance and repent.
Pple shuld try n read a commentary wella b4 commenting,we were jst told dat his resignation will make him d 2nd pope 2 retire frm office of d vatican head. Anyone who knwz history will also know that the pope is head of church(catholic) and head of state(Rome) and his position is nt jst about prayers but requires travels n interventions and if he has noticed he's incapacitated 2 perfom both duties he is okay 2 resign and for those who suspect foul-play,dnt judge d church like its politics,d church is judged by deeds and politics is judged by oratory(esp in naija). May d lord grant u more strengthened days ur holiness and Danke shon 4 d gud works u did
FELLOW NIGERIANS, OPEN YOU EYES AND STOP BEING GULLIBLE. THERE'S MORE TO THE REASON BEHIND HIS SO CALL "RESIGNATION." THERE IS NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE. HE DID NOT "RESIGN" BECAUSE OF "HEALTH" REASONS OR WHATEVER.
IS CHRIST NOT A HEALER? WHAT ILLNESS COULD A POPE HAVE THAT CHRIST CANNOT HEAL? POPE BENEDICT XVI AND THE VATICAN ARE NOT TELLING US THE TRUTH.
DO YOUR RESEARCH ABOUT POPE BENEDICT XVI BEFORE PRAISING HIM FOR STEPPING DOWN. I DON'T BELIEVE THEIR STUPID PR AND DAMAGE LIMITATION EXERCISE.
IN THIS DAY AND AGE WHAT CAN FORCE A POPE TO STEP DOWN? SCANDAL? SEX RELATED SCANDAL? GO READ POPE BENEDICT XVI'S LAST TWEET [ @PONTIFEX ] "WE ARE ALL SINNERS." WHAT IS THE SIN ON HIS CONSCIENCE THAT IS SO SERIOUS AND HAS LED TO HIS RESIGNATION? A POPE DOES NOT SIMPLY RESIGN EXCEPT IT IS A SERIOUS MATTER WHICH HAS BROUGHT THE VATICAN, CATHOLICISM AND CHRISTIANITY INTO SERIOUS DISREPUTE.
WHATEVER MADE POPE BENEDICT XVI RESIGN IS VERY AND SO SERIOUS THAT WORLD LEADERS DO NOT WANT TO KNOW HIM. WATCH THE NEWS. WATCH THE NEWS. HOW MANY WORLD LEADERS ARE SAD TO SEE POPE BENEDICT XVI STEP DOWN? HOW MANY? NONE. THEY KNOW THE TRUTH, AND HAVE RIGHTLY KEPT THEIR DISTANCE.
THE ONLY TRUTH IN POPE BENEDICT XVI'S PRESS STATEMENT IS THAT HE IS STEPPING DOWN ... HIS CONSCIENCE ..., BUT, AS FOR HIS HEALTH, POPE BENEDICT XVI IS HEALTHY ENOUGH TO CONTINUE IN HIS ROLE. HEALTH OR OLD AGE IS NOT THE TRUTH WHY THE VATICAN PUSHED HIM OUT. IF POPE BENEDICT XVI WANTS TO CLEAR HIS CONSCIENCE, THEN HE NEEDS TO TELL THE TRUTH.
THREE THINGS CANNOT BE LONG HIDDEN: THE SUN, THE MOON, AND THE THRUTH. HONESTY IS THE GREATEST TRUTH. DISHONESTY IS THE GREATEST FALSEHOOD. THERE IS HONOUR AND GREATNESS IN HONESTY.
Pop Corn and coke .....oya now i know there is more to this story. Na when him resign finish we go find out werin dey, i just hope it has nothing to do with covering up the molestation scandal
There is more to it than meets the eye!! Resign ke? The politics and chicanery dat goes on in d Vatican City is well known. Th e Pope dat wanted to expose d massive corruption ind Vatican Bank, na wetin dem do am? Well no be ma mouth una go hear say King wife dey cut shows!!!.......Triple A to da M
Point of correction, His Holiness didn't resign he is retiring. It is a normal practise in Catholic Church for Bishop's to retire when they attain certain age or not strong enough to carry out their duties due to age or on health conditions. Please do not be mis-informed about this, His Holiness Benedict the XVI is not resigning as pope but retiring due to old age.
The person coming after Pope Benedict XVI was referred to by John as the Son of Perdition and St. Malachy as Peter the Roman.
Rev 17:1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, aaying to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the GREAT HARLOT who sits on many waters.
2. with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication (idolatry).
3. So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting upon a SCARLET (RED) BEAST which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4. The woman was arrayed in PURPLE and SCARLET (RED), and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. (Note: The College of Cardinals wears red while the College of Bishops wears purple).
5. And on her forehead a name was written:
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
9. Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are the seven mountains on which the woman sits (Rome is referred to as "The City of Seven Hills - U can google it. If the City of Seven Hills is Rome, who is the Great Harlot that sits on it.).
10. There are seven kings. Five have fallen, one is (Pope John Paul II), and the other is not yet come (Pope Benedict XVI). And when he comes, he must continue a short time (he came in April 2005 and is resigning Feb 2013, barely 8yrs).
11. The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eigth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition (this is the last pope).
Rev 13:11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb (a religious figure) and spoke like a dragon.
12. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it tp worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.
Pls read the rest of the verses (14-18).
In the Prophecy of the Popes, St. Malachy wrote of the 267th Pope:
"Glory of the Olive." Joseph Ratzinger, Benedict XVI (2005-2013). He chose the regnal name Benedict after St Benedict of Nursia, founder of the Benedictine Order. The Order's crest contains an olive branch.
Of the 268th Pope, St. Malachy wrote:
Peter the Roman, who will nourish the sheep in many tribulations; when they are finished, the CITY OF SEVEN HILLS will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The end.
Rev 17:15 Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues.
16. And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the HARLOT, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
18. And the woman whon you saw is that GREAT CITY (The Vatican) which reigns over the kings of the earth.

The pope's entire career has the stench of evil about it.
He is part of what is wrong about the Vatican. He had to be forced out.
Please, follow the link to read this revealing article by Christopher Hitchens, and you will begin to understand why this so called Pope had to be force out. The truth and a mountain of evidence was closing in on him. He lied that health reasons was why he is stepping down, yet he has no specific health issues. He is a liar.
BONARIO, there are so many things i like in yu, i so much love the way yu comments, dats one.
yes, this THE HOLY FATHER, THE SUPREME PONTIFF,PADRE MIO,,,,I saw a real SHEPHERD. AN EPITOME OF HUMILITY, just like the SUPREME MASTER. RMEMBER, HE IS A BENEDICTINE, YU can imagine where he is going. his remaining part of days will be spent in prayers for the body of christ. i bid him well...i will pray for him. i will forever respect him though i will miss his papal blessing. i pray that THE SUPREME MASTER WILL send to us smb after his own heart. long live THE HOLY MOTHER CHURCH.
I think this IDIOT that wrote the great catholic cover up by 7.18 am should visit the hospital and have his entire system examined.
yu are simply and ignorant FOOL that cant even read the handwriting on the wall. na ur papa be liar.
pls before yu write trash on an issue yu dont know anything about, ask question. anyway,yu are simply the devil dat cant even pullthe seat of peter down. idiot
I have watched the wealth of the Catholic Church turned into a subsidy for wrongdoing and a prop for the continuing campaign against women’s rights and homosexuality.
Pope's resignation was not forced by health issues, spokesman says.
Remember the whole world was lied to by the vatican that his resignation was due to health reasons?
Pope Benedict XVI is not suffering from any specific disease that forced him to resign, his spokesman said Tuesday - adding that it was a "spiritual" decision.
Why did they lie about his health? Are they covering up something? Why are they not stating the truth as to why he was made redundant?
What is the "spiritual" issue that is on his conscience that made him decide to step down and which also made him tweet "we are all sinners."? Did he commit any sin? If yes, when, and what sin?

is the will of God,may he lead him through.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very honorable action!
ReplyDeleteThe man has accepted that he is frail physically to effectively perform the role and responsibilities.
It is a lesson to those public office holders (Suntai, Sullivan Chime, Imoke and their likes) who know they are incapacitated but would rather allow the scenario of Umaru and Turai Yaradua to play out; where others use their name and take advantage of their incapacity to ascribe powers unto themselves.
A lesson in humility for the wise!
Yes, according to Canon Law (No. 322, Par 2), a pope can resign from office, provided it is freely made. While this is a rare occurrence, he isn't the first pope to resign (probably about the 5th). Instead of making snide remarks, or making unproven assertions, I think we should respect his decision and move on. And nope I am not catholic - Alero
ReplyDeleteA pope can resign, just that its very rare! The first pope that resigned was Gregory in the year 1415! Its an Office for life, but you can resign if you feel that you cant perform again due to ill health or personal decision. A pope must not die in office!
ReplyDeleteNo matter wahat happens...Catholic for life !
well there is nothing heding under the sun,what ever it is God Knows.may God help us in this end time!!!
ReplyDeleteA pope can resign base on the cannon code.The last pope resigned in 1415 by name Gregory xii. If it has never been done,the Catholic church known for its rules would have prevented him. He is begin sincere to all by admitting his weak strength for the sake of the mission. Some leaders can learn from this.
ReplyDeleteWho told you that popes don't resign!!!...animal
ReplyDeleteSince 1415? See, it's not just d naija factor, but human nature in general.
ReplyDeleteAnd what does he mean by 'dear brothers?'
Once again Linda, ur on point. #thumbsup#
Pope Benedict is still strong when compare to Pope John Paul who was well stricken in age. I hope there is no consipiracy. One day we will hear the gist from the History Channels
ReplyDeletewel, he knws he no longer has d strenght to do d duties of a pop.this what happen when people don't give positions 2 a person who is qualified either bcus of d colour or bcus of were him/her is from
ReplyDeleteWhat's with all this 'I'm proud to be a catholic, I'll die a catholic'??? See, y'all had better repent of idolatry! Stop worshipping idols! You worship Mary, is that what the Bible asked you to do??? Jesus said, no one cometh to the Father except by Me. He didn't say,'except by Mary'. Better stop walking in ignorance and repent.
ReplyDeletePple shuld try n read a commentary wella b4 commenting,we were jst told dat his resignation will make him d 2nd pope 2 retire frm office of d vatican head. Anyone who knwz history will also know that the pope is head of church(catholic) and head of state(Rome) and his position is nt jst about prayers but requires travels n interventions and if he has noticed he's incapacitated 2 perfom both duties he is okay 2 resign and for those who suspect foul-play,dnt judge d church like its politics,d church is judged by deeds and politics is judged by oratory(esp in naija). May d lord grant u more strengthened days ur holiness and Danke shon 4 d gud works u did
ReplyDeleteRead Revelation 17:10 what happened is prophetic!den cometh 8th who is satan himself....D'end is close,very close!watch and pray!

ReplyDeleteI DON'T BELIEVE THE VATICAN OR POPE BENEDICT XVI.
ReplyDeleteWE, THE WORLD / UNIVERSE, DESERVE THE TRUTH.
FELLOW NIGERIANS, OPEN YOU EYES AND STOP BEING GULLIBLE. THERE'S MORE TO THE REASON BEHIND HIS SO CALL "RESIGNATION." THERE IS NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE. HE DID NOT "RESIGN" BECAUSE OF "HEALTH" REASONS OR WHATEVER.
IS CHRIST NOT A HEALER? WHAT ILLNESS COULD A POPE HAVE THAT CHRIST CANNOT HEAL? POPE BENEDICT XVI AND THE VATICAN ARE NOT TELLING US THE TRUTH.
DO YOUR RESEARCH ABOUT POPE BENEDICT XVI BEFORE PRAISING HIM FOR STEPPING DOWN. I DON'T BELIEVE THEIR STUPID PR AND DAMAGE LIMITATION EXERCISE.
IN THIS DAY AND AGE WHAT CAN FORCE A POPE TO STEP DOWN? SCANDAL? SEX RELATED SCANDAL? GO READ POPE BENEDICT XVI'S LAST TWEET [ @PONTIFEX ] "WE ARE ALL SINNERS." WHAT IS THE SIN ON HIS CONSCIENCE THAT IS SO SERIOUS AND HAS LED TO HIS RESIGNATION? A POPE DOES NOT SIMPLY RESIGN EXCEPT IT IS A SERIOUS MATTER WHICH HAS BROUGHT THE VATICAN, CATHOLICISM AND CHRISTIANITY INTO SERIOUS DISREPUTE.
WHATEVER MADE POPE BENEDICT XVI RESIGN IS VERY AND SO SERIOUS THAT WORLD LEADERS DO NOT WANT TO KNOW HIM. WATCH THE NEWS. WATCH THE NEWS. HOW MANY WORLD LEADERS ARE SAD TO SEE POPE BENEDICT XVI STEP DOWN? HOW MANY? NONE. THEY KNOW THE TRUTH, AND HAVE RIGHTLY KEPT THEIR DISTANCE.
THE ONLY TRUTH IN POPE BENEDICT XVI'S PRESS STATEMENT IS THAT HE IS STEPPING DOWN ... HIS CONSCIENCE ..., BUT, AS FOR HIS HEALTH, POPE BENEDICT XVI IS HEALTHY ENOUGH TO CONTINUE IN HIS ROLE. HEALTH OR OLD AGE IS NOT THE TRUTH WHY THE VATICAN PUSHED HIM OUT. IF POPE BENEDICT XVI WANTS TO CLEAR HIS CONSCIENCE, THEN HE NEEDS TO TELL THE TRUTH.
THREE THINGS CANNOT BE LONG HIDDEN: THE SUN, THE MOON, AND THE THRUTH. HONESTY IS THE GREATEST TRUTH. DISHONESTY IS THE GREATEST FALSEHOOD. THERE IS HONOUR AND GREATNESS IN HONESTY.

@Nostra Maxima Ewu!! So if the pope has Alzehima(however it spelt) or its early sign he should be there cos he's chosen... *Floetry in. Motion*

ReplyDeletePop Corn and coke .....oya now i know there is more to this story. Na when him resign finish we go find out werin dey, i just hope it has nothing to do with covering up the molestation scandal
ReplyDeleteWhy there is no black pope if the muslim can appoint a black Imam for Mecca why the Chatolics can't do the same at the Vatican ?
ReplyDeleteMark my words, Cardinal Onaiyekan will be the next Pope.
ReplyDeleteI'm not being tribalistic, just relaying a message.
Linda, even if you don't post this comment, keep it for future reference!
If Baba God chose him, Baba God will give him strength....so therefore, he wasn't chosen by God.
ReplyDeleteThere is more to it than meets the eye!! Resign ke? The politics and chicanery dat goes on in d Vatican City is well known. Th e Pope dat wanted to expose d massive corruption ind Vatican Bank, na wetin dem do am? Well no be ma mouth una go hear say King wife dey cut shows!!!.......Triple A to da M
ReplyDeleteOle!!!!,he is resigning because he doesnt want to be indicted in the shady deals and Paedophillia case he is involved in.Hell awaits you
ReplyDeletepope don tire. make he resign enjoy woman small bafore he die. carry go.
ReplyDeleteI love my CATHOLIC faith. May God bless His Church. Amen
ReplyDeleteThey should give Cardinal Arinze the position sharperly.
ReplyDeleteI think Goodluck jonathan needs to follow †нε Pope's step tho...
ReplyDeletePoint of correction, His Holiness didn't resign he is retiring. It is a normal practise in Catholic Church for Bishop's to retire when they attain certain age or not strong enough to carry out their duties due to age or on health conditions.
ReplyDeletePlease do not be mis-informed about this, His Holiness Benedict the XVI is not resigning as pope but retiring due to old age.
the man must have been blackmailed, you never can tell, he could have comprised his papacy by virtue of deeds or misdeeds....he is not infallible....
ReplyDeleteI weep for this.....may God grant him good health and continue to increase the faith of all the catholics,amen!

ReplyDeleteThe person coming after Pope Benedict XVI was referred to by John as the Son of Perdition and St. Malachy as Peter the Roman.
ReplyDeleteRev 17:1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, aaying to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the GREAT HARLOT who sits on many waters.
2. with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication (idolatry).
3. So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting upon a SCARLET (RED) BEAST which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4. The woman was arrayed in PURPLE and SCARLET (RED), and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.
(Note: The College of Cardinals wears red while the College of Bishops wears purple).
5. And on her forehead a name was written:
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
9. Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are the seven mountains on which the woman sits (Rome is referred to as "The City of Seven Hills - U can google it. If the City of Seven Hills is Rome, who is the Great Harlot that sits on it.).
10. There are seven kings. Five have fallen, one is (Pope John Paul II), and the other is not yet come (Pope Benedict XVI). And when he comes, he must continue a short time (he came in April 2005 and is resigning Feb 2013, barely 8yrs).
11. The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eigth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition (this is the last pope).
Rev 13:11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb (a religious figure) and spoke like a dragon.
12. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it tp worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.
Pls read the rest of the verses (14-18).
In the Prophecy of the Popes, St. Malachy wrote of the 267th Pope:
"Glory of the Olive."
Joseph Ratzinger, Benedict XVI (2005-2013).
He chose the regnal name Benedict after St Benedict of Nursia, founder of the Benedictine Order. The Order's crest contains an olive branch.
Of the 268th Pope, St. Malachy wrote:
Peter the Roman, who will nourish the sheep in many tribulations; when they are finished, the CITY OF SEVEN HILLS will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The end.
Rev 17:15 Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues.
16. And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the HARLOT, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
18. And the woman whon you saw is that GREAT CITY (The Vatican) which reigns over the kings of the earth.
He that reads let him understand.
well maybe he is tired of being celibate

ReplyDeleteThe Great Catholic Cover-Up.
ReplyDeleteThe pope's entire career has the stench of evil about it.
He is part of what is wrong about the Vatican. He had to be forced out.
Please, follow the link to read this revealing article by Christopher Hitchens, and you will begin to understand why this so called Pope had to be force out. The truth and a mountain of evidence was closing in on him. He lied that health reasons was why he is stepping down, yet he has no specific health issues. He is a liar.

Farewell to an Uninspiring Pope :)
ReplyDeleteI have watched the wealth of the Catholic Church turned into a subsidy for wrongdoing and a prop for the continuing campaign against women’s rights and homosexuality.

Pope's resignation was not forced by health issues, spokesman says.
ReplyDeleteRemember the whole world was lied to by the vatican that his resignation was due to health reasons?
Pope Benedict XVI is not suffering from any specific disease that forced him to resign, his spokesman said Tuesday - adding that it was a "spiritual" decision.
Why did they lie about his health? Are they covering up something? Why are they not stating the truth as to why he was made redundant?
What is the "spiritual" issue that is on his conscience that made him decide to step down and which also made him tweet "we are all sinners."? Did he commit any sin? If yes, when, and what sin?
Watch the news.
The truth will come out, eventually.
