According to a report in The London Times and best selling Catholic author and journalist Antonio Socci, about 12 cardinals who have supported Pope Francis since his election in March 2013 now fear that his controversial reforms may cause a schism in the Church, and so they hope to pressure the Pope to resign.

"A large part of the cardinals who voted for him is very worried and the curia ... that organized his election and has accompanied him thus far, without ever disassociating itself from him, is cultivationg the idea of a moral suasion to convince him to retire," reported Socci in the Italian newspaper Libero, as quoted in The London Times of March 2.

The cardinals who want Pope Francis to resign are among the liberal prelates who backed Jorge Bergoglio (Pope Francis) four years ago, said Socci, and they would like to replace him with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican secretary of state.

IMHO Pope Francis is the worst thing that has happened to the Catholic Church is a long time.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Benedict returns!

[The_Media_never_lie]

Pope should abdicate.

[Lurkinanloomin]

The fake Pope is doing exactly what those who installed him wanted him to do.

Francis is a Marxist atheist . He was installed by a corrupt elite who want to destroy one of the last vestiges of conservative traditionalism in the works , the Vatican.

It’s so clear that Bennedict was blackmailed / threatened into resignation .

[NoKoolAidforMe]

I agree 100%.

[NYer]

Catholic ping!

Dude is a NWO plant.

# 6 "It’s so clear that Benedict was blackmailed / threatened into resignation." I respectfully disagree that Ratzinger was blackmailed, and I can NOT believe he would submit to threats designed to make him resign the Holy Office he once held.. Speculation, nothing more. Can you provide hard evidence?

[broken_arrow1]

Like Obama, he won’t go quietly...

[WashingtonFire]

I would encourage you to read up on the Vatican Leaks.

It was also just all too convenient that for the a Pope resigns for the first time in centuries and his replacement just happens to be an extreme Marxist. The excuse that Bennedict was in poor health doesn’t stand up when he’s enjoyed outstanding health for a man of His age since

[arrogantsob]

I’m not Catholic but believe the Cardinals could not have made a worse choice. This guy would work with Stalin.

[HarleyLady27]

I would LOVE for him to resign, but then again I keep praying for a bolt of lightening when he’s out and about...

[aquila48]

Impeach him.

He’s done to the Church what Obama did to America.

[stig]

The fake Pope is doing exactly what those who installed him wanted him to do.

Yes but as typical leftist Marxist they didn't count on 1/3 to 1/2 of the congregations leaving because of their radical ideas. Their revolution hit the wall of economic reality. It stinks when your revolution could cost you 1/3 to 1/2 of your income

[Red Steel]

They could always elect another Pope. It’s been done before.

[bantam]

ABSOLUTELY
He has me questioning remaining Catholic

[nickcarraway]

This report is pure bunk.

The excuse that Benedict was in poor health doesn’t stand up when he’s enjoyed outstanding health for a man of His age..." Speculation. You, nor I do not/can not know with any certainty what really happened, but until proven otherwise, Benedict XVI should deserve at least the presumption of innocence - don't you agree?
