The pope has renounced the papal throne.

Wouldn't the correct terminology be that he "resigned" the papal throne?

Wouldn’t the correct terminology be “was pushed from it after it came out that he personally covered up decades of child abuse when he was the man responsible for investigating those crimes and then used the insider knowledge he had of the criminals to blackmail them into election him pope”

The actual terminology in the letter in one of those links is required.

Correct terminology is neither “renounced” or “resigned”, but abdicated.
