44 days post dirty harry post posted ten twenty-eight twelve at twelve twelve reply on twelve twelve twelve at ten twenty-eight then formal resignation of first pope in six centuries exactly two plus two and two times two months later two months two weeks and two days after that first ever pope peep. "Well, Do Ya, Pope?" twitter.com/googolbeast/status/262451721689772032 The formal resignation of Pope Benedict XVI was scheduled exactly 2 months 2 weeks and 2 days after the first ever @Pontifex tweet and also exactly 2 plus 2 and 2 times 2 months after my 28 October 2012 tweet quoting dirty harry sent at 12:12 to the Vatican Ratzinger resigned for four months later. The formal resignation on 28 February 2013 at 20:00 (8:00 pm) CET (19:00 UTC) is the stroke of midnight in Phoenix and "Maryvale" and "Maricopa County" where Chris the pope retire screamed the third day nine months after life begins Christmas Day the year before making Nixon resign from the womb. Benedict XVI resignation was first announced the day I aired on FOX www.tinyurl.com/poperetired 11 February 2013 by the Vatican for me specifically because Ratzinger is that rockstar. Benedict XVI's decision to step down as leader of the catholic church made him the first pope to quit in six centuries and in doing so he did so right after I told him to do so electronically. The cross is simply a four point where resisting is an impossibility from and my injuries are those that can only be sustained by a very securely 4 pointed individual. When the Pope resigns for your Tweet on Twitter he leaves mathematical verification for those who would "accidentally" torture you and or brand you incompetent. We don’t torture people here and get away with it any longer. If you want to torture people go somewhere else. Maybe somewhere with the atomic bomb. I made the pope resign. For the record: You can blow thirty trillion dollars on bullshit… just don’t burn Chris Simpson.

[@myhonestopinion9593]

Laura Elstro - all the identifying criteria of the Whore and the Antichrist in the bible point to the catholic 'church' and the popes. as for sola scriptura, take it up with Jesus. sola scriptura is biblical. everytime He refuted His enemies He quoted scripture...He NEVER quoted 'tradition'. in fact EVERY TIME Jesus said anything about tradition it was ALWAYS in the NEGATIVE. Jesus never had a single good thing to say about tradition. Jesus NEVER quoted tradition. but catholicism always does...what should that tell us? the idea that tradition counts toward our guidance and salvation is entirely catholic and unbiblical. 2Ti 3:15 says plainly that the word of God is all we need because the word is ABLE to make us WISE unto SALVATION. NO MENTION of tradition as needed for salvation. just because a pope or magesterium etc says we need tradition means nothing. if the word is ABLE then it does not need the help of false catholic tradition. now, I can send you a link to study how the catholic 'church' and the pope are identified as the Whore and the Antichrist, but if you are catholic which I suspect, will it really do any good? would you even bother studying it? I mean after all, you count yourself as a scholar right out of the gate, thus saying you know that what I said is not true. so are you really serious? are you really ready to spend a few hours HONESTLY studying it?

I really wish people here would realize that this is a news service direct from Rome itself and is likely to have a few mispronunciations in it as a result. Also, it was clear that Benedict didn't want to fall into the frail state and have problems crop up with the church they way they did under John Paul II's term. Yet, because people prefer the sexier explanation, rather than the logical one, they will continue to think Vatileaks was the whole reason rather than a mere component of it: the papacy is a demanding role. One needing a lot more energy than Ratzinger was able to lend it.

Rome Reports, you need to take a little more interest and show a more caring and professional attitude toward your English language videos. Your narrators often mispronounce fairly simple words all the way through the video. It is an easy thing to check and correct. News teams in high school and college or even junior high would never let these kinds of mistakes slip by, yet you do not seem to care that it sounds so unprofessional. Of course schiks ysyakky have teachers coordinate the clubs and teams who check these sorts of thing before letting them go to production. Do you not have checkers and editors or do you just not care. Is your attitude that we should be happy that you do it in English at all. So you just don't care what it sounds like or what. This particular video has the word 'Emeritus' mispronounced all the way through it. And there are several other videos with this tye of error. I have never said anything before and perhaps I should not have today but it just seems like you do not really care how you sound.

Yes Forced to resign by persuasion. Hard persuasion to be sure. Remember as a modernist heritic from his seminary days he touted the Idea of being able to split the papacy. He wrote about the idea of two popes. So in the end can we ask,? Did circumstances make it possible for Ratzinger to do what he ponderd about his whole academic career. Fracture the rock of Peter first into two popes then into multiple popes. Collegiality a theme of Vatican II says the Pope is one amongst equals with the other bishops. This turns the rock of Peter into a pile of crushed gravel. Gravel fit only for paving the drive and walking over with human feet.

[@vinodsailesh5858]

Please excuse my tone of speech or script as it spontaneously comes to that mode not deliberately but through a freak mentality. Just go by the message only. We were all baptised as Catholics to remain faithful to our Saviour Jesus Christ and to protect our faith from unscrupulous people. But no way we were made Catholics to do an unscrupulous naivete on the Vatican Forum or the discretion of the Holy Father to be very precise. As such if make a dig at Pope Francis as to "who baptised the Holy Father" then the same yardstick must apply to everyone including his critics. This feature is equally good for everyone regardless of who stands where. Let us repeat it viz. we were all baptised to become true followers of Jesus Christ (not critics of our Holy Father). Our sacred duty of following Jesus Christ is for our own salvation. We as good Catholics have, therefore, no right or authority whatsoever to defy our own Saviour Jesus Christ. But unfortunately our attitude has now more or less changed. We have started looking the other way. We tend to "look a gift horse in the mouth" besides assuming ourselves to be custodians of the Catholic Church or the Catholic Faith without our being invited to be. If our ambition was of that category then we ought to have renounced worldly life right at the start to become a part of church clergy and the church clergy should have done a soul search at the time of taking the vow. It is another matter that the ordinary clergy are not made to take the triple vow of Poverty-Chastity- Obedience. So even there you clergy stand a grade below the congregational clergy. Since we did not do that (taking the triple vow) then we need to keep a low profile and not add to the conflagration by making the Holy Father stand in the court of our wistful thinking. When neither God nor the Vatican Forum has not authorised us to tarnish the reputation of the Catholic Church it ought to be our prerogative to stay subdued without maligning the church or the Vatican. As a last resort - come let us be true Catholics because our God is an Omnipotent Omniscient and all pervading Abba God the Father Jesus Christ God the Son and the Purifier of Souls God the Holy Spirit Amen.
