The Great Dynamic of all time is "The will of God" If Pope Benedict met God at the cross as a sinner
and received Jesus Christ as his Savior he will have Eternal life like the rest of us who found salvation
there at the old rugged cross.

Okay? He died. Plenty of people do that daily. Doesn't make this guy special and does not impress me.

He may be the spiritual head of the world's largest Christian church, but a cousin of Pope Benedict the XVI says that he is still a naughty boy to her.

Steffie Brzakovic, 78, of Cooma, received a call from her famous first cousin shortly after his election in a papal conclave in April.

It was the first time she had heard from him in more than 50 years.

Mrs. Brzakovic, who was raised in the southern Germany city of Weilheim before moving to Australia in 1956, said she remembered Joseph Ratzinger as a young boy who was often up to no good.

"He was everywhere he shouldn't [have] been, she recalled yesterday, shaking her head. "When I think today of what we did, it's a wonder that [we are] alive."

When she received the phone call three months ago she first thought it was a prank. It wasn't until His Holiness told her it was "Ratzinger Pepi", referring to his childhood nickname, that she realized who was on the other end.

"I said, 'Are you the Pope?' and he [replied]. 'But for you I am still Ratzinger Pepi'."

Mrs. Brzakovic was raised as a Roman Catholic, but became a Jehovah's Witness in the 1970's.

She said that while her religious differences with her family had caused frustration, the Pope had encouraged her for following her faith.

"He told me that 'You are doing the work that we should do', " she said, referring to her church's missionary work. "He said, 'You have halls that are not too big, but they are full. We have cathedrals, churches, chapels and they are empty'."

Mrs. Brzakovic is spending this weekend at a Jehovah's Witness convention in Canberra with about 3000 district worshippers.

its only a matter of time before we get the The Pontifex Maximus down to a bible study! Once he realises that we have 'the truth', then he shall issue a Papal bull stating that all Catholics should become witnesses, and then we shall be in the big time, lookout for the haters

Feb. 12, 2013— -- When Benedict XVI ascended to the papacy after the death of Pope John Paul II in 2005, world Jewish leaders were nervous about the new German-born pope.

Joseph Ratzinger had joined the Hitler youth as a 14-year-old and went on to serve in the German military, as six million Jews were sent off to the death A NOBLE MAN

Unfortunately many do not realize Christians believe in "saved by grace alone, through faith alone, not by works that anyone may boast. " as written in the Bible, the written word of God. So in reality Catholics do not believe this, they add works and so are not true Christians. They need to study the whole of the Catholic Church, and the whole of the lives of all the popes to see where they have been misled and risk missing out on eternal life if they continue following these lies. I am only speaking the truth from Scripture . I wish that no one be misled when it comes to this serious and everlasting consequence . The life of anyone is sad however the damnation of ones soul for eternity is the worst think imaginable ! don't let that soul be yours!

He went straight to hell if he wasn’t baptized in Jesus name

[franciscotoscano]

Don’t forget the scandals, can’t all be buried by his death

[danny]

The kids that were victims of his systemic abuse can rest well tonight.
Good Start to 23

[MYRIAMLATEUR]

The sad thing is that he kept dictating our real pope who is way more liberal, human, forgiving and mild… behind the curtains. And then, asking for forgiveness in a letter after his death, … sounds quite cheap.
