For those wondering what
a fisherman's ring
means. It takes its origin from PETER the apostle. He is believed to be the first fisher of men. Which was what CHRIST addressed him as and told him to do. Its a seal which is passed on from one pope to another. And cos they are all fishers of men, so that ring is like the same ring of power the queen of england wears. But this one is the ring of power for the church and him being the head of the fishers of men (all Clergy), he alone wears the ring of authority or power.

It is normal, even cardinals that resigned are known as "cardinal emeritus"
Re: Benedict XVI To Be Known As 'Pope Emeritus' by Akbee(m): 6:46pm On Feb 26, 2013
lets not be more concerned with the aftermath of his untimely resignation than THE FACTORS BEHIND IT.
lets ask ourselves why he had to throw in the towel[an act which rarely occurs] without any good reason.
All is not as it seems;gents n damsels.

Frostyzone:
There is nothing Holy about the Catholic Church. Infact, they will be the first to tell you that there is no such thing as speaking in tongues or miracles.

So how can they believe in the holy spirit when they don't believe in all of these holy spirit qualities...or so I'm told.

I should care less about who's the better Christian or not, considering that I don't even believe in god or gods.

What I said is solely based on personal observations, which is also a well known fact among non-Catholics.

If you see it as an insult, then it means you are being defensive or protective which automatically translate to me being right after all.

fineheart: The best organized institution in the world is showing humanity in clear terms how to handle sudden resignations and election of the successor. No wonder the Catholic Church with 1.2 billion members world-wide has continued to exist and surmounts challenges that come her way for nearly 2,000 years of its existence. We pray that the Holy Spirit will guide the Cardinals to elect a very worthy successor to the retiring Pope.

You mean like how they sponsored the slave trade and tortured men, women and children all over Europe?

Please ooo dont be deceived , peter is not the first pope , there was nothing like division between the early christains , nothing like all these roman tradition , catholics are observing.
Catholic church was started by emperor constatine, at first the people of rome refused to abandon their pagan tradition for christainity thats why constatine had to introduce all these statues and cermonies to make them accept it and preserve their tradition. The romans worshiped the sun , so they changed sabath day from saturday to Sun-day. If u re a catholic during benediction just look at the type of cross the preist holds up, the cross and the rays of the sun fused together.
Paganism and christainity fused together. Why !? Am not telling u to beleive me. Do your research , MY PEOPLE PERISH FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.
