News From Benedict: Fear of the Antichrist is "All Too Natural"

His resignation had nothing to do with scandals like Vatileaks, the former Benedict XVI told Peter Seewald on 12 November 2018. The statement is contained in Seewald's Benedict biography (May 4). Seewald addresses Ratzinger as "Papa Benedetto".
At the beginning of his pontificate, Benedict XVI signed - like Paul VI and John Paul II - his resignation in case of an illness which would make the exercise of the papacy impossible. "That other forms of insufficient capacity for rightly ministering are also possible, became clear to me at the end of my service," he adds.
“Emeritus" means that a bishop doesn’t actively hold his episcopal see, but is "in the special relationship of a former bishop with it".
Benedict reminds that every bishop needs a see, even if it is, as with auxiliary bishops, only the titular see of a diocese that no longer exists. After the introduction of the episcopal retirement age, there were not enough titular see left. Therefore, Bishop Simon Landersdorfer (+1971) of …More

Please spare me the hypocritical false Catholic charity, @Rafał_Ovile' Least of all from a charlatan like you. :D Besides, I freely admit my pride, always have. ...and Benedict is no longer Pope.
Rafał_Ovile
Ultraviolet you have not been kind and generous to some of your adversaries. I am only showing it is your explosive pride. I hope with God's help you will be more charitable to pope Benedict XVI and brethren Catholics and neighbours...

Criticize by example, Rafał_Ovile. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." That is as Catholic as it gets. As I told you before, you get what you give. Only in my case I give it back twice as generously. ;-) "go to a protestant forum in Sri lanka." :D Where I "swalled the camel" and "strain the gnat", yes? There are few things as funny as a foreigner trying to be insulting in …More

There are few things as funny as a foreigner trying to be insulting in a language they barely understand.

Nobody could invent this kind of outlandish silliness if they were consciously trying. Your bad "engrish" is the only good thing about your comments. You're stupid and you're stubborn but at least you're funny when you're stupid and stubborn. :D Hey, no complaints from me. I'm loving this. :D
Rafał_Ovile
Ultraviolet learn to debate in a Catholic manner. Or else go to a protestant forum in Sri lanka.
Ultraviolet
First, I didn't make a conclusion Rafał_Ovile Learn debating terminology. I made an accusation. Second, the word is spelled "narcissist" you illiterate.
Rafał_Ovile
Ultraviolet such false conclusions characterize diabolical narcissits.
Ultraviolet
There is nothing "Catholic" in your heavy-handed condescension. You get what you give. The difference between us is I've earned the right to be condescending. You have not, @Rafał_Ovile
Rafał_Ovile
Ultraviolet you also need to learn the method of a Catholic dialogue.
Ultraviolet
You've used this "please read and understand" and "I may clarify" gimmick before. You need new material for your faux-intellectual routine, @Rafał_Ovile' Your condescension is getting stale.
Rafał_Ovile
Ultraviolet please learn to read and understand. If you experience more trouble I may clarify some points for you... under the condition you will kindly ask.
Ultraviolet
...and thank you @Rafał_Ovile for confirming you're an illiterate foreigner who can neither reason in his own language much less debate effectively in mine. I never said I knew Benedict XVI personally. So even that claim is wrong. You moron.
Rafał_Ovile
Ultraviolet thank you for confirming you don't know pope Benedict XVI.
Ultraviolet
"quoting pope Benedict XVI is senseless as you don't know who the man is" :D :D :D Sure @Rafał_Ovile' You meant "pointless" not "senseless" and you're still wrong on both counts. I know who he is and, more importantly, I know what he is not. :-) Benedict disproved your claim. I do not follow Benedict. The Church does not follow Benedict because Benedict is no longer Pope.
Rafał_Ovile
Ultraviolet quoting pope Benedict XVI is senseless as you don't know who the man is and not follow.
Ultraviolet
I quoted Benedict directly and YOU have not, @rafal_Oh-Vile. Benedict contradicts your claims about his resignation. All your empty "you have" this and "you have" that does not change what Benedict said.
Yes, I do have contempt for you. You've earned nothing more. Your entire debating style is one long series of empty accusations without any supporting proof. You seem to think your vocabulary of …More

Yes, I do have contempt for you. You've earned nothing more. Your entire debating style is one long series of empty accusations without any supporting proof. You seem to think your vocabulary of multi-syllable words passes is the same as using them correctly. It isn't and you don't. If you were simply ignorant, that would be bad enough. If you were stubborn and stupid, that would be worse. You're all of these in addition to being pretentious and condescending while displaying your stupidity.

...and that, that, earns you nothing but my indiluted scorn and contempt.

"you know better whilst you don't"

...which explains why I always correct you with facts and you just make empty unproven accusations like that one and these... "due to philosophical cognitive errors" "literal and out of context interpretaions"

None of which you ever show with factual refutations. I've seen your debating style before. You make claims and pretend they are true without ever supplying proof. You're just noise. But it's fun to push you around which is the only reason I bother with you, @Rafał_Ovile

Ultraviolet you have shown extreme imcompetence in commenting on the subject of the complex papal crisis. You're unable to disguise your contempt for the human intellect of your adversaries is showing along with your arrogance that you know better whilst you don't. Not only from lack of knowledge, disregarding scientific methods and personal incapacities but also due to philosophical cognitive errors through literal and out of context interpretaions. Nevertheless, you could apply to a school of sophists to be a more competent 'red herring'.

Benedict himself contradicts you, Rafał_Ovile He isn't the "Sovereign Pontiff" anymore. "I no longer bear the power of office for the governance of the Church" direct quote from Benedict XVI immediately before his resignation.

The Last Pontifex, Judas

The Last Pontifex, Judas
The Olive Garden, in which the Lord Jesus was sweating with blood, was also a witness to the treacherous act of Judas the Apostle. The Saint Mary's church at Avenida La Plata 286 (Spanish: 'Silver Avenue') in Buenos Aires, where Eucharistic Miracles appeared (May 1992, August 1996) is a contemporary edifice (1936) of a certain Jorge Bergoglio. The apostle Judas*, Jesus' companion and perhaps His peer, assisted the birth of the Church and sold her Head, Jesus Christ, for thirty pieces of silver. The infamous Argentine in Vatican, also from the society of Jesus - in his spiritual constriction even retained the passport of his native Argentina - is the payment that Benedict XVI, the last successor of Saint Peter the Apostle, received for betrayal of the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, for adultery with the spirit of this world and enabling the crucifixion of the Roman Catholic church. Illusive argentum (silver) of temporality, a mountain of silver along the Tiber - man smells betrayal from afar. Poor papa Benedict did not expect such a payment: now he is bound with this Argentine "Living Silver" in the Vatican like Judas with a pile of silver in the courtyard of the Temple of Jerusalem. The merciful Mother of the Church, however, will give, as in Fatima foretold, to the "Bishop in White", the last Pontifex [B16], an opportunity for repentance and perfect remorse, just as She gave this grace to the first one - Saint Peter the Apostle.
And where are the cardinals, bishops, when the Roman Catholic Church is in a mortal danger? They hid like the first apostles. Only the beloved disciple, John, persevered at Jesus. Who of the apostles persevere at the crucified Church? - but will he find faith on earth?

*Judas Iscariot appears in the New Testament as the 12th, last apostle. Pope Benedict XVI, as the last of the successors of Saint Peter the Apostle, jumped into Judas' shoes and committed treason. After the Ascension of the Lord, the College of the Apostles was completed by Matthew [='God's Gift']. When Benedict betrayed the Mystical Body of Christ, Messenger the Fire took his place. The Paraclete is the heavenly 'Gift of God the Father and the Son' for the last days.

"The apostle Judas*, Jesus' companion and perhaps His peer" A peer is someone of equal standing. Judas was not of equal standing to the Son of God. News Flash: Popes have been wearing white for a long time now, so "the Bishop In White" could be anybody not just "B16".

Asked about the Dubia, Benedict XVI said, "In the Church, amid all the toils of humanity and the confusing power of the evil spirit, one will always be able to discern the subtle power of God's goodness.”
