Effectively admits you can't resign an office you never legitimately held.

[blackdog]

Easy fix to that statement. Sometimes elitist arrogance just oozes out of their pie holes.

Is the Pope Catholic?

< /rhetorical question>

[billorites]

Pope Emeritus gets a primo parking spot.

[Migraine]

He needs to spend more time with his family.

Question to Dr.David Anders on Called To Communion: “If a Pope slips into a mental or physical condition others can see but he refuses to acknowledge is there a group at the Vatican that can remove him as Pope?”
Dr.Anders: No.

Here on this forum a couple of years ago a person far more knowledgeable than I as a non-Catholic, said the same small group in the Vatican that chose him to be Pope is still there to choose another just like him.

What's all this talk?

Did Peter “resign”?

I think not.

The whole thing actually causes me to question some of the basic tenets of the (so called) “Catholic Church”.

[Jamestown1630]

I’m not Catholic, but I don’t get the idea of a pope resigning. It’s like a monarch abdicating - it gives a feeling of delegitimizing the whole thing.

He added that the possibility remains remote, since the Pope "is in good health and, God willing, there are many projects still to be realized."

Heaven help us!

Even if there is "always someone trying to hinder reform, who would like to remain stuck in the times of the Pope-king," he said, ...

Now we have tyrannical Pope-dictator.

Liberal freeloaders never quit a work free “job” once they get their hands on one.

meddlesome priest...

[Bigg Red]

Begone, evil imPopestor!

[j.havenfarm]

Well, hopefully he’ll kick off before we have to worry about titles, legitimacy, etc

[Verginius Rufus]

If Benedict XVI had remained as pope until his death, Bergoglio would have been ineligible to vote in the conclave which follows because of his age.

Unfortunately a large percentage, probably a majority, of the cardinals voting in the next conclave will be men appointed by Bergoglio.

Pope: ‘I’m not considering resigning but would be ‘bishop emeritus of Rome’

I wonder if he's ever, instead, considered the Last Four Things:

Death, Judgement, Heaven and Hell.

[John S Mosby]

Bishop Emeritus— what an absolute Leftis A@@. Emeritus- so he can continue to bleed the coffers for himself and his queer jesuit cabal of cardinal buggers. Get out and get lost. But before you go a full audit of the Vatican Bank is in order.

[Trump_Triumphant]

Frankie the Fake doesn’t need to resign. He’s not the Pope anyway.

[Maris Crane]

If Frank is considering resigning the Church:

MUST BE BLEEDING CASH.

That’s the only thing that will stop this maniacal heretic.
