News related Pope benedict: Pope will resign on 28th February

Pope Benedict to resign on February 28: Vatican: Just in: Pope Benedict is to resign on February 28, spokesman Father Federico Lombardi tells CNN. No reason has been given, reports CNN. The 85-year-old became Pope Benedict XVI in April 2005 following the death of Pope John Paul II. Details in a bit.

The last Pope to resign was Pope Gregory XII (1406-1415), who did so to end the Western schism, which had reached the point where there were three claimants to the Papal throne, Roman Pope Gregory XII, Avignon Antipope Benedict XIII, and Pisan Antipope John XXIII. Before resigning he formally convened the already existing Council of Constance and authorized it to elect his successor.

The shock move by the 85-year-old pontiff has stunned the Catholic world. The German was elected in April 2005 and took the name Benedict, having being born as Joseph Ratzinger.
In fact, one of the headlines that the Sun had debated on when he became pointiff was Heil Mary.

wow... that's a shocking news. No Pope has resigned in the modern era. Looks like child sex abuse by the priests has taken its toll on Pope.

Very unlikely. Selection process is very complicated with basic requirement being two third majority. Can't imagine any Asian cardinal managing that through. Anyway.. would be very interesting to see that white smoke coming out of the chimney.

He resigned owing to his extremely fragile health. Performing the duties of a pope lying incapacitated on bed is not possible.

I think maybe they were going to announce existence of Aliens, that's why he resigned. He didn't want it to be announced on his watch!

Where is our friend @ISRO222?

"I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome"

by Benedict XVI

Dear Brothers,

I have convoked you to this Consistory, not only for the three canonizations, but also to
communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church.

After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry. I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering. However, in today’s world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me.

For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the Cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is.

Dear Brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects. And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff.

With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the Holy Church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer.

From the Vatican, 10 February 2013

BENEDICTUS PP XVI
