“Only one Pope has ever resigned (Celestine V back in 1294)...

Yes. He resigned after being arrested and probably murdered. He died in prison.

(From the beginning, he didn’t want to be Pope but was forced into it.

Up until that point, he loved living like a hermit. He abhorred public life.)

P.S.

I didn’t make myself clear...Celestine V never resigned...while alive. I was having fun with you. He was murdered THEN he resigned.
