Benedict XVI: ‘I Am on a Pilgrimage Home’

Before he get's "home", I would hope he would at least sign the dubia or the filial correction. Retired clerics have signed both of them, I don't see why Benedict can't.

[Fred Hayek]

Rottweilers are intelligent, loyal, and protective. Kinda fits Ratzinger.

[Vermont Lt]

My mom has been saying stuff like that for years.

[RedStateRocker]

Yep.

And one doesn’t have to embrace Catholic theology to respect Benedict as someone who did his best to serve God as he believed in Him and sees Evil and the works thereof as what they are

[Lurkinanloomin]

Popes die in office.
They are supposed to Pope until dead.

The ImPopester is so bad there can only be a nefarious explanation.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I learned a new word, thanks.

[Jane Long]

I remember reading, close to two decades ago, a prophecy article saying the last Pope would be named Benedict.

This was before Ratzinger became Pope.

I wish I would’ve saved the story.

God bless and keep this good man.

[Marchmain]

Seriously!? I’m sure the thought has never crossed his mind for either one. Benedict is vastly superior to those playing Machiavellian games with Church doctrine to carve out mini-citadels.

[bantam]

The current Vatican occupant is illegitimate. Benedict abdicated his papacy why???? Very shady dealing s went on there! No will ever convince me otherwise!

[ebb tide]

I’m serious.

His silence speaks volumes.

[onedoug]

I agree. There’s evil afoot therein.

[bantam]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!
I am sick to see where my church has been going! Just sick

[Ken H]

“My guess is some corrupt liberal Western governments are blackmailing the church and using sex scandals as leverage.”

That only works if they had something on Pope Benedict himself. Are you saying that’s the case?

[Moonman62]

No, that’s not what I’m saying.

[Salvation]

Prayers for Pope Benedict XVI!

Ping for Prayers!

[Ken H]

Then how did church scandals force his resignation?

[Architect of Avalon]

Benedict needs to come out of retirement and dethrone Francis.

[Moonman62]

He refused to implement the corrupt liberal’s policies that they wanted. He either had to step aside or let the church be destroyed with all out prosecutions and destructive financial penalties for the church.

[Melian]

I really miss him. His message was always extremely clear and well-reasoned.

[Melian]

I couldn’t agree more.
