solomon111: Actually the popes have the uneviable title of being chronic child molesters.
It is a known truth,all over the world.

That's honorably and deserves an applause.
Who can do that inview of the power and authority of the pope.
Bravo papal.

Yeah because the selection of GO's in jet-flying protestant churches is free of any form of politics. Monkey.

9ja_I_hail: Dear Brothers,
I have convoked you to this Consistory, not only for the three canonizations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church. After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry.

I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering. However, in today’s world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me.

For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the Cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is.

Dear Brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects. And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff. With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the Holy Church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer.
From the Vatican, 10 February 2013

BENEDICTUS PP XVI



Buahri should take a cue from his age mate, Pope Benedict.

solomon111: maybe not this pope,but a lot of popes were molesters.

solomonkane:

Answer the question; how does resignation from one position stop him from continuing to do God's work? Does resignation mean he can no longer preach, write or teach?

femmyb:
A cardinal from Ghana and Arinze of Nigeria are said to be top favorites.

ifeness:

I hope not! Its time we abandoned all the foreign religions.

China celebrated their new year recently - a society robbing shoulders with the powers that be.

When will africa have her own calender? As long as we remain in the shadows of the western world in all departments,we will continue to suffer.

uchbabybaby: Dat is why I luv oyibo people. If it is a naija man, he will lik to die in dat position. Even if a naija man is at the point of death or very old, he will stil like to retain his position. Naija ppl make una learn gud tns o .

ELgordo: Hope you guys know that the next pope coming in is going to be the one to usher in the Antichrist he is going to be the False Prophet . . . Heads up people Rapture is the next thing . . . This new pope in going to be in full support of same sex Marriage. . Let us hold hands and pray we get close to God. . .Jesus Christ

linearity:

I seriously doubt Cardinal Arinze, he is 81 years old (born 1932). The current Pope was even younger than Arinze when he was select in 2005, I do not see the Cardinals going for someone very old again.

MEILYN: u call it a position? As if he is d president of a country who can resign or step down at anytime......pls i tink u shld read his comments again......God only calls ppl who will do His work nd lead His ppl to d fullest even if d person is a sinner.....d pope shld learn how to bear temptation nd also endure to d end......wat would av happened if Moses Had Resigned wen He was in Egypt trying to free d israelites? U can imagine a pope dumping Gods ppl in d middle...

ELgordo: Hope you guys know that the next pope coming in is going to be the one to usher in the Antichrist he is going to be the False Prophet . . . Heads up people Rapture is the next thing . . .

Yap on point.
