"Now that the pope is frail the "powers behind the throne" see their big chance to "take over"

Everytime I see how frail the pope has become I think this as well. I also wonder who is putting out the statements that "the pope will not step down". The only people who stand to benefit from the pope not stepping down, are the powers behind the throne. They could not procure their agenda if another pope were to be chosen.

Popes don't step down. You must not be a Catholic or you would know this.

You confuse physical frailty with mental acuity, and insult the Pope in the process.

Plus you (both) seem to imply Ratzinger (et al) is the scion of evil rather than the servant of God that he is.

Both views are uninformed and insulting.
