“I doubt he fears any prosecution by the Hauge or other Courts.”.

I agree, but I think he sees the Catholic church is going to hell in a handbasket and he doesn’t want to be around to take any more blame than he already has.

I also found it interesting to find out today that this current Pope has a pacemaker which was only revealed in recent days. He evidently had it before becomming Pope. Usually they don’t hide those facts from the Public. There is probably a health scare that is causing this. I doubt he fears any prosecution by the Hauge or other Courts. I think it would cause a world war if the Pope was put in prison…

Timothy, maybe in your thinking the entire Papacy could be considered Peter The Roman, but according to the prophecy I mentioned, it will be THE name of the next Pope.

The last Pope prdiction reads:

10. PETER THE ROMAN – The 112th prophesy states: “In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Petrus Romanus, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations; after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End.” The last pope may just cut Catholics loose from unity and the papacy, causing total disruption and confusion. See Saint Francis of Assissi’s 13th century prophecy below. It is believed the next pope will

Each preceeding prophocied Pope had a name that did correspond with the name they took at being installed Pope.

I cannot explain why, but when I heard of B16′s decision, I thought of the US Supreme Court. Also a lifetime appointment. And whether men and women in their 80s should be serving in the US Senate and House.

I could not help but wonder if, in general, there is a time when our mental and physical capacity to keep up with the world has diminished to the point we have a responsibility to step aside.

While I too believe there is something on the horizon for the RCC that B16 simply does not want to deal with, even if health is the primary reason, his leaving the world stage is a good thing.

Virtually nothing B16 has said and done has been edifying to me. Nonetheless, his decision to step aside has made me reflect on aging. I just had a birthday divisible by five, so it is fresh on my mind.

Soren– that’s a must read book for anyone interested in the church. And so few people HAVE read it. In one blog posting, I wrote, “where’s Hadrian VII when you need him?” And über catholic was totally miffed: “When you people don’t like the church, you just make something up. There was no HAdrian VII.” My response was…

“And isn’t that a pity?”

So, what is the big scandal that he is trying to leave the holy see for? The fact that this is the first time it has occurred in the last 600 years says something fishy is going on. I expect something major to come out in the next couple months.

Robert,

Peter of Rome could refer to the entire string of Popes, not to the name of the final one coming in. There Peter of Rome has sat for 2,000 years nourishing the sheep through tribulations.

But with the Glorious Olive resigning, this ookie spookie prophesy could be out of Popes to predict.

Oh Noes!!

Timothy-

It wouldn’t come to end on the 28th of February, have no idea how you come to that conclussion, since they won’t be deciding on the Next Pope probably until Easter. That also wouldn’t account for the things the final Pope has to faccilitate to bring about the end. He must reign for some period of time. There has also never been a Pope with the name Peter out of reverence to Peter the Apostle. So the next Pope would have to claim that name in order to fulfil this prophecy. I find it enthralling.
