PRAY FOR POPE BENEDICT XVI

We may never know why he resigned. I personally believe that the San Gallo Conspirators who did everything they could to prevent him from being elected in the Conclave of 2005, and failed, succeeded in 2013 in threatening the Church with such a financial disaster that Benedict, out of love for the Church and on those countless men and women around the world who depend on the Church for their very sustenance and living, sacrificed himself and resigned the exercise of the power of jurisdiction (governing) that belongs to whoever occupies the Chair of Peter, but not the power of orders. Jorge Maria Bergolio, who was elected to succeed Benedict to the Chair of Peter in 2013 has chosen, rightly or wrongly, to exercise ALL of the powers of the papacy with the resulting chaos that we are now experiencing.
If Archbishop Ganswein was correct in saying in his speech in the Gregorianum that the Church now has a “shared papacy”, and …More

I liked & trusted Pope Benedict XVI, however, I need to first admit I don't like the fact that he failed to resign properly. In doing so he has invalidated the pontificate of Jorge Bergoglio. Secondly, in saying that he is sharing the papacy, he is guilty of gross error & probably excommunicated. If he had not chosen to leave, this awful situation regarding Francis would probably never have happened.

When Pope Benedict XVI was validly elected in 2005 the "Saints" from city of Gallen and their candidate, who is present highest legislator, did not accept the fact of adherence to the primacy of Peter, to the "manifest and explicit decrees both of predecessors the Roman Pontiffs and of general councils, "which must be believed by all faithful Christians".

When Pope Benedict XVI was validly elected in 2005 the "Saints" from city of Gallen and their candidate, who is present highest legislator, did not accept the fact of adherence to the primacy of Peter, to the "manifest and explicit decrees both of predecessors the Roman Pontiffs and of general councils, "which must be believed by all faithful Christians". They rejected in their distorted imagination of decentralized Church that the "holy Apostolic See and the Roman Pontiff hold a world-wide primacy and that the Roman Pontiff is the successor of blessed Peter, the prince of the apostles, true vicar of Christ, head of the whole Church and father and teacher of all Christian people." Otherwise they would fully obey and defend him.
Moreover, all other Princes whether neutral or protectors have not given public support during documented constant pressure and attacks on Holy Father BXVI. Nor did they implement his teaching, i.e Summorum Pontificum.
This situation's end is the present chastisement of the Church which SHE now experiences with the true Vicar of Christ at the Cross. In reality the situation contradicts Gospel, Tradition and Magisterium because there is the second "pope" "governing and teaching".
The objective fact of two different persons being officially titled pope(and theoretically may be many), one contemplative and other active (Abp. Ganswein) contradicts "Pastor aeternus" which clearly defines:
1. "And it was to Peter alone that Jesus, after his resurrection, confided the jurisdiction of Supreme Pastor and ruler of his whole fold, saying: "Feed my lambs, feed my sheep" [44]."..."To him, in blessed Peter, full power has been given by our lord Jesus Christ to tend, rule and govern the universal Church. All this is to be found in the acts of the ecumenical councils and the sacred canons."
2. Thereby it is first Pope Benedict XVI who "received the keys of the kingdom from our lord Jesus Christ, the savior and redeemer of the human race, and that to this day and for ever he lives" and presides and "exercises judgment in his successors" the bishops of the Holy Roman See, which he founded and consecrated with his blood [46].
The aforementioned truth in constitution PA was confirmed and clearly restated in the Pope's last address on February 27, 2013. For this reason he clearly decided to keep jurisdiction by remaining in the "enclosure of Peter" and abdicate only from governance. Decision made in the situation of extreme circumstances and love for the Church to avoid probable visible schism. Moreover, to understand the complexity of the situation one must make semantical distinction between resignation and abdication.
Finally and most importantly to see more of the whole picture, which at the moment God knows, Churchmen should connect all the dots of facts and ask Holy Spirit for the spirit of Truth. All the errors of BXVI successor's occupying the seat in power of governance and teaching might be for the reason of lack of Holy Spirit promised to each Pope with juridical power which Pope Benedict XVI through discernment with God has decided to claim and keep until his decease... Each Catholic should stay with and pray for pope Benedict XVI
