Is he still pope? Does this work theologically? I was led to believe it didn't. Wondering what other Catholics think.

He is indeed still Pope.
And the new guy isn’t, and never has been.

I wonder if he regrets it. It’s pretty much been a disaster.

The state is even deeper at the Vatican.

I think it won't get straightened out until both of them die. Gates of Hell time.

Please add me to your ping list. I had my doubts about the whole resignation and election of Bergolio. Time has removed those doubts. I am now positive Bergolio is a fraud, imposter, usurper, and heretic. Benedict XVI is the True Holy Father.

Anne Barnhardt (bless her) was saying this from day one.
Benedict committed ‘serious error’ under Canon Law 188 when he resigned - the serious error being that he thought he could resign and yet retain this ‘spiritual Pope’ business - and therefore his resignation was not licit.

I don't know technically about the legalities except I heard that once you're Pope, you are Pope til you die....
I'm thinking this was a forced "resignation"...
its all moot.....we have an anti-Catholic pope and we just hope we can live to see brighter days....

Pope Benedict is the only one true pope at the present time. Whether he believes it or not

Can. 188. A resignation made out of grave fear that is inflicted unjustly or out of malice, substantial error, or simony is invalid by the law itself.

I have faith that Bergoglio will be gone soon.

To answer the original posters message- this creates a huge mess. Basically throws everything into question regardless of what your diocesan bishop might say.

If it was forced, it is possibly invalid. But a resignation of the papacy can be valid.
But the last one, Celestine V, tried to return to the life of a hermit, and did not designate himself as retaining the “spiritual mandate of the papacy.”

The problem is that even with Bergoglio gone, as Ann Barnhardt has pointed out, the way he’s stacked the College of Cardinals his replacement will be 20 years younger and have 20 more IQ points.
And be equally invalid.

His resignation should be annulled, just like the Church annuls tens of thousands of Catholic weddings every year.
He was not in a proper state of mind, nor were the cardinals that accepted it. He thought he was too old and sick and would soon die. They agreed.
But look! He still lives! God’s will.
Every day that they let Jorge seat his fatass in the chair is a day they sin.
I’m Catholic, BTW, but protesting, no less than early Luther did.
