[@colinmorrison5119]

@@PopeBenedictXVII I didn't quote, I paraphrased. Benedict, Cameroon, 2009, according to The Guardian: 'The pontiff, speaking to journalists on his flight, said the condition was "a tragedy that cannot be overcome by money alone, that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which even aggravates the problems".' Same article: 'Shortly after becoming pontiff in 2005, he told senior Catholic clergy from Africa that, while the disease was a "cruel epidemic", it could not be cured through using condoms.' He backtracked a year later and said condoms were acceptable in certain cases, but that's not exactly effusive support for basic sexual health.

[@PopeBenedictXVII]

@@colinmorrison5119 see, if you focus on what he said he said it doesn't cure the issue. Condoms break. It "aggravates the problems." He is emphasizing the danger of sex with aids, which should obviously be avoided when one has aids. If someone engages an intercourse and the condom breaks, it's still going to spread aids. That's the whole point. Why the pontiff said it aggravates the problem doesn't overcome aids.

the Problem is his resignation has set a precedent. most popes in the history of the church were of advanced ages and many accepted the Position grudgingly but as the will of god. We can not have Pope after pope resigning because he feels too old or tired to do the job. one pope in the 1600;s was elected at age 83. he apparently wept and told the Cardinals that he was too old and tierd to be the Bishiop of Rome and wondered why god would lay such a punishment on him in his old age but he accepted it as gods will and led the church faithfully for the remaining 7 years of his life. I like franchises More humanist approach but I did like Benedicts more Royal Pomp and ceremony and traditionalist approach as well.

can you hear Benedict screaming in terror as he stands before the real Christ? and his name is not found in the book of life, now consider his life what he did, he walked in tradition with the vatican created Christ that says ok to idolatry says ok to pedophilia/ sodomites, a created Christ that says if it feels good do it! that's says all of the laws and commandments are irrelevant that the vatican is the law of God, now consider your life how many times a day a week do you deny Calvary took place when a priest claims the power to forgive your sins, and you walk away feeling justified of your wickedness, examine yourselves before Hebrews 9:27 takes place, are you prepared is your faith in the real Christ or an occult created Christ, you have one chance and so far you have allowed others to use tradition to rip away your salvation, remember what Christ said to the priest of his day and that is they were blocking those seeking Christ from going into his church because they wore rags for clothing, in Mathew 13:34 that day those priest lost their salvation because he told them they were without forgiveness he had closed the door to salvation, so how many of you still have that door open, and how many are reprobate! its your time to take a stand church have no power over you unless you bow to them, not one priest in the vatican can claim to be righteous when they bow to idols and deny Calvary took place when they lie and claim the power to forgive sin people find a Bible that hasn't been occult rewritten and read it,

While JPII was a wonderful leader and probably the best of the modern era, the last few years of his Papacy, he was obviously very ill and frail. Pope Benedict16th knew this and didn't want to be seen in that light. He also knew that the modern Papacy is a job like being a president of a huge country, with meeting hundreds of people everyday, making huge decisions and traveling extensively.

CNN has nothing better to do as to discredit and ridiculed the head of the catholic church. Bringing up he grew up during NZ times where the catholic religion was seriously attact. And so on it goes.He might be controversial. He still moved the catholic church into a new area. Religious or not, your choice, still give the man respect!

I cut my ties with the church a while ago, that’s a man who gave up power and the authority of government. I knew he was in the SS and that was unsettling, but where he grew up and the timing really wouldn’t look good if he was always against it. And I’m not sure if this is a hit peace or a respect that you people possibly feel for him. This is where the world is, I don’t know if these are serious or if I fail at what democrats think of as bad

2022 has been a tough year we really loss some big named most fascinating incredible loving kind hearted gentle souls the list is far too long to mention every one's name... I just honestly hope that Pope Benedict found peace with GOD so many people out here don't believe in GOD or are ANGRY with GOD and then some may serve GOD and man and think 🤔 living a double life is okay with GOD but when the dusk settles and the new day begins I sincerely hope that we all can forgive and forget all the pain AND the hurt and the people that hurt us the most and find eternal peace ☮️ with GOD and make amends with GOD before we leave and depart the earth 🌍 RIP
