Benedict was obviously forced to resign. I'm not Catholic and have no idea how these things work, but the cardinals clearly kicked Benedict to the curb so they could install a SJW pope.
Serious question: When was the last time a pope resigned while still in good health and sound mind?
I am Catholic and I'm obviously not getting these memos.
Seriously has Satan taken over everything. Sure seem that way.
Pray to God - but lets keep rowing to shore.
During the Great Western Schism in order to end it. The valid pope resigned voluntarily and the two false claimants were nudged aside by the Council of Constance in 1414 and then a new pope was elected in 1417 but not until one month after the death of the valid pope who had resigned, Pope Gregory XII.
The previous instance was the abdication in 1294 of Pope Saint Celestine V.
For the record, all the claimants to the papacy since 1958 have been invalid due to heresy.
