There was a REASON Pope Benedict ‘retired’...this is not that common, has been done I think once before...but I have NEVER believed it was because Pope Benedict couldn't do his job...

He was involved with re restructuring the Vacatian Bank, which is ‘sacred’ to a lot of Cardinals, including Cardinal Dolan...(I don't trust him either)...

I believe this was ‘planned’ by some Cardinals that knew they were going to get caught with their hands in the cookie jar and got this to happen...

This Francis the talking poop, is not a True Pope...and those of us that know our religion and have lived it all our lives know this...

In the last thousand years, only one other Pope retired. And Dante pictured him lying on the floor of Hell for doing it.

I simply can’t imagine how a great pope like Pope Benedict was forced into retiring. He would not have minded damage to himself. I can only imagine that the Cardinals threatened damage to the Church if he stayed on.

As it is, I think the damage has been far worse than if he had stayed on and met their challenge. A very sad business. At this point, it will take divine intervention to straighten it out.
