I will admit to being a died in the wool Lutheran. I have a question for education...Why did Benedict abdicate? I know from history this has not occurred for nearly a millennium. What possessed him to leave? And Can he do anything to reverse the apparent apostasy of Francis?

Oh my gosh, that’s really a good laugh!

The one who resigned is now forcing his successor to resign? MY opinion is that the entire mess started during the 60’s at Vatican II. I still remember listening to AFN radio, while stationed at Galena AFB,Alaska, that Pope Pius XII had died ( the only Pope I had known since my childhood ).Snowlevel: A_hole deep. Temperature: -40F, MUsic played at that moment: Pavane for a dead princess, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKkeDqJBlK8

...the Mafia of St. Gall... with a fifth and irregular balloting... succeeds in electing... the Jesuit cardinal, Bergoglio... [H]is style is very off the cuff and, in no time, with the complicity of the Main Stream Media, he succeeds in capturing the enthusiastic favor of the crowds...

The attack on Catholicism begins
Immediately, he begins a gradual dismantling of Catholic doctrine to adapt it to the container of the new universalist masonic-environmental-modernist religion of the New World Order, openly augered by Bergoglio in his interview with La Stampa on March 15, 2021: “We are wasting this crisis when we close in on ourselves. Instead, by building a new world order based on solidarity …”.

Consequently, it would not surprise if Ratzinger never actually resigned, Bergoglio is an anti-pope.

(bold emphases mine)

The solution... is a simple one: let the Bishops convoke a synod... to establish with certainty which of the... popes is the true one. Ratzinger knows that during such an encounter the reality will easily come forth: the anti-pope and all of his actions, nominations, doctrinal and liturgical changes, will vanish into nothingness. It will be as if he never exited.
