Why is the Pope resigning?

He wants more time to spend with little boys. Mt 7:20

Hos 3:1

 

[What Caused the Pope to Resign? Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries] "Pope Benedict acknowledged the "rough seas" that marked his papacy "when it seemed that the Lord was sleeping." In an unusually public outpouring for such a private man, he alluded to some of the most difficult times of his papacy which was dogged by sex abuse scandals, leaks of his private papers, and reports of infighting among his closest aides. "There were moments, as there were throughout the history of the Church, when the seas were rough and the wind blew against us and it seemed that the Lord was sleeping," he said. The pope says he is too old and weak to continue leading a Church beset by crises over child abuse by priests and a leak of confidential Vatican documents showing corruption and rivalry among Vatican officials. He said he was not "coming down from the cross," but would serve the Church through prayer. Read more."

 

Response to comment [from other]: "The power of love and compassion..."

 

He rejected love and compassion (Ps 7:11, 2 Pet 2:1).

 

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "The Pope himself plainly stated his basic reason for retiring..."

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "When the debate is lost slander becomes the tool of the loser." ~ Socrates

 

Is that a "yes"?

 

"Yes, you have lost the debate..."

 

If that is true, then you will be happy to provide biblical support for these false Catholic teachings.

Response to comment [from other]: "You're very sleazy."

 

Protecting homosexual pedophiles is sleazy (Mt 7:20).

 

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "A truly despicable response."

 

What's despicable is leading millions to hell (Jud 11), raisy cakes (Hos 3:1).

Response to comment [from a Mormon]: "...Maybe he is also having a change of heart..."

"...According to many Reformers, Satan's crown jewel is the Roman Catholic religion. It is his most seductive and deceptive form of counterfeit Christianity in the world. Granted, there are many other apostate churches, but none compare in the size, power, influence and wealth to the apostate church headquartered in Rome. The problem most Catholics have is they have been indoctrinated from birth with the lie that they belong to the one true Church. By believing this lie, they have no incentive to read God's word and therefore they cannot discern truth from error. I pray you will ask God to reveal His truth to you as you abide in His Word (Proclaiming the Gospel, Vol 18 no. 4)." Full text: No Idolatry & False Teaching
