Again, I would respectfully ask you to read some things on the Vatican leaks.
I don’t believe resignation reflects poorly on Bennedict. The Globalists have tools and threats that can break nearly every man

Pope Sixtus I (Saint) (119-128)
Pope Telesphorus (Saint) (128-138)
Pope Hyginus (Saint) (138-142); martyrdom dubious

Also this on the Apostles:
Peter was crucified upside-down in Rome sometime between AD 54 and AD 68.
Andrew, son of John and brother of Peter, was scourged and tied to an X-shaped cross where he was left for two days before he died. The exact year is unknown.
James, the son of Zebedee and brother of John, was beheaded in Israel. (Acts 12:1-2)
Phillip of Bethsaida was crucified in Hieropolis, Syria c. AD 80.
Bartholomew was beaten, flayed, and crucified in Armenia sometime in the first century.
Thomas was pierced through with spears by four soldiers in the city of Syriac Mazdai sometime in the first century.
Matthew was axed to death in Ethiopia, c. AD 60.
James, the son of Alphaeus, was clubbed to death at the age of 94 in Jerusalem, c. AD 66.
Jude was crucified in Beirut, c. AD 65.
Simon the Zealot was put to death by a saw sometime in the first century.
Matthias, chosen by the apostles to replace Judas, was stoned and beheaded in Jerusalem sometime in the first century.
Paul was beheaded in Rome, Italy in AD 66.
Not worse.
You’d have to start martyring each other, as happened to protestants...
“The Globalists have tools and threats that can break nearly every man”
Romans 8:35-39
Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Just as it is written,
“FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG;
WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED.”
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
**they would like to replace him with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican secretary of state.**
I think that’s up to the Holy Spirit in a valid conclave.
Hang in there!
I won’t say what is in his heart l just wish he would go. He is Obama, a human wrecking ball to the Catholic Church.
I thought the same thing.
Sadly, the same cannot be said about Francis.
Terrible terrible pope indeed. I miss Pope Benedict so much.
u r correct
Amen.
It’s not about the humans... it’s about the Eucharist.
But his horns haven’t even come out yet
Poe Francis is like the Obama of popes
Almost every week this pope comes out with some new crazy statement, that is either anti-Christian, pro-terrorist, Marxist/Communist, etc. I have lost count how many shameful things he has stated at this point. He needs to be concerned about doing his job: shepherding his flock at the spiritual level, and stop trying to be a Marxist social activist.
Look for this Pope to quit.
