So will the Pope, by then former Pope, be a member of the conclave? He's over 80 so therefore ineligible to vote in Conclave.

So what kind of influence will he have in the process of choosing the next Pope? The Holy Father has been very diligent in promoting men of quality to the Red Hat his entire reign. In that regard I think he's already exerted tremendous influence over the upcoming conclave. I'm praying fervently for a holy pope, that IMHO would guarantee a conservative pope.

One of the replies said he had announced he would not because, right now he’s the Pope and theoretically he can change the rules I guess if he wants to.

Just reading about possible successors, I don’t like the idea of an “affirmative action” pick; HOWEVER, it actually seems like some of the African cardinals are maybe more “conservative” than the euros. i.e. Peter Turkson or Arinze compared to Scola. And with Africa kind of an Islam vs. Christianity battleground right now...

Born again evangelicals can pray also, that God would grant them a pope who will uphold the evangelical gospel and recant from errors, such as assured infallibility, praying to the departed. Etc.

About a common thought with another FReeper based on a list of traits supposedly linked to popes? You should not take yourself too seriously.

Because it hasn’t happened in over 600 (I think) years? I don’t think anybody except the pope himself, plus perhaps his closest confidants, knows what this means. This is new territory for all of us. If you are in the know, please share with all of us the reason for the resignation and the great impact it will have on the Church and the world.

What happen as Islams takes the Middle East and Obama pulls us back from the Middle East? What happens as Obama takes us towards 0 nukes and carriers that can’t sail? What happens with a armed force turned toward Americans? It is not funny. I have known this day was coming. It is now here.

This is going to happen because the pope resigned, or are you referring to a prophesy that has been neither legitimized nor recognized by the Church? God tells us we will not know the day or time. I’ll take His word above St. Malachi’s.

Read it again. You did not get the words right. We will not know the hour but will we know it is coming. You need much more study.

Or rather pray for a Pope that will make a reality the prayer of Jesus in John Chapter 17, that his believers will be ONE.
