To: ebb tide

I want to know more, much more about why Pope Benedict XVI stepped down, and how someone whose religious ideology is almost diametrically opposed to his was named his successor as Pope.

Pope John Paul II had an important role in the fight against world Socialism/Communism, and Benedict XVI was a friend and confident of John Paul II. So maybe those who are promoting global Socialism/Communism felt that ‘this time around’ they had to make sure we didn’t have a Pope like John Paul II, or his friend Benedict XVI - who opposed secularism.

Well, you can assume that the globalists hated JP2 and B16 and wanted B16 to step down. Was he coerced? Threatened? The rumors are out there. You can wonder, surely, how this heretical Pope was (miraculously) elected and if he is a puppet whose strings the globalists pull.

We all wonder these things.
