No, Benedict did not resign because of advancing age and declining health.

He was forced out, and a guy who was a leader of the effort even gave an interview and bragged about it.

Not a conspiracy theory. A little-known fact.

Read what Benedict said. You probably won't believe HIM or his words and would rather believe the WORST of this pope, but so be it. He was ELECTED by his peers. Said of Pope Benedict: "He has a TOWERING intellect and a backbone of tempered steel."
I guess those words mean nothing to you. PAX TIBI!

“a guy who was the leader of the effort”?

When asked if he feared assassination in an interview with Seewald while still in office, Benedict responded, “No.” How did they force him out? Was he scared his reputation would be besmirched two months shy of 86? Why can you not accept that following the example John Paul gave, Benedict thought a Pope in this age has to be vigorous?
