[Cronos]

The headline isn’t true.

The article goes on to say

The cardinal submitted his resignation as required by church law when he turned 75 on June 15 of last year.

But did popey have to accept it? How old is popey? Me thinks the great reset continues.

Cronos :" The article goes on to say .."
"The cardinal submitted his resignation as required by church law when he turned 75 on June 15 of last year."

Yes, with all due respect, I agree that it is a Church administrative procedure.
However, in the past, others have continued in their post for a number of years,.. so there is precedent,
until a suitable replacement has been found.
"Cardinal Robert Sarah as head of the Vatican’s office for liturgy, " is not an insignificant office in the Vatican.

It’s rarely accepted this quickly, and his doing so was widely perceived as getting rid of an enemy. Btw, you should see the nasty tweets and remarks about Cdl Sarah from the liberals, such as the homosexualist James Martín, SJ. They’re congratulating Bergoglio on getting rid of him.

Thanks for the clarification.

Now, if we could just get this Pope to abide by that rule.
