"if you resigned under coercion AND you live under coercion AND your "army" obey the ones that coerced on you..."Benedict has numerous academic colleagues and faithful supporters throughout the world. He is in no way required to "live under coercion" nor does his "army" obey the ones supposedly doing the coercing. To this day he has many, many people who believe he is still Pope. If Benedict cried "Help me!" he would have thousands of people supporting him.
You are calling Benedict a liar absent proof. Not good.
"Really could you tell all about it? even if your live are in danger ??? really?"Since you are new here, joined just hours ago, you really have no idea just how contrarian and obstinate I can be, amigo. Especially when it comes to matters of the faith.
Given a choice between my
life and my
soul, well, that is not even a choice. Under those circumstances, I would gladly abandon my life just for the
pride I could have standing before The Almighty and repeat His Son's words in
Matthew 5:10-12To be honest, such an opportunity would be a great joy because it would instantly remove any need for the legal defense I have planned for all my sins and failings.
God is the ultimate judge and He is an infinitely just judge. If someone threatened my life because I was faithful to God and to The Church, then Matthew 5:10-12 undeniably applies.
More importantly,
There are no exceptions or qualifications listed.
Jesus did
not say, "Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. -EXCEPT if you are smug, arrogant, pride-filled, contentious, uncharitable and drink too much RedBull." If Jesus had said
that, I would still have a problem, even if I was threatened.
"pls! be logic... in public you will tell that you quit freely !!!"Well... since you raised
logic, you're making a fallacy of circular reasoning. Your proof that Benedict
resigned under coercion is that you believe he
lives under coercion, by people
coercing him.
Raising logic with me is a dangerous game and I play for keeps. pic related. Oh, before I forget. Welcome to Gloria.TV
