Pope Benedict XVI - why has he resigned?

The last time a Pope stepped down, Henry V was about to fight the Battle of Agincourt. So why this Pope? And why now? Benedict says he is simply too old to go on. At the age of 85 he no longer has the strength to fulfill the duties of office. .

The reporter said she wanted a Pope to come from latin America with lots of vigor and vision, and that's exactly what we got! It's like they responded exactly to her request.

He did his time and worked hard at all his jobs since he was ordained. He is a good man.

[deborahbriscoe-graves]

He resigned because he was forced to. They wanted Francis in.

[buba]

HE SAW what happened with Pope John Paul II. That’s why.

[ireneoramos]

Actually for all the concept are partial, he resigned coz his a good listener.Amen

[oneseeker]

I didn't realize how frail he had become.

[BenedictusFan]

Poorly informed piece. Benedict XVI did not 'abolish' the concept of limbo, whatsoever. The International Theological Commission published a paper that suggested it need not exist; that is all

[bradmiller]

I have always thought that as a rational German so ashamed of their modern history and determination to devote their lives to doing right to humanity, he lost faith in such a dark and corrupt system and stepped down under gag order not to disparage the fairh.

Eunuchs: Brothers and sisters of my father Jesus Peace be with you!

What you failing to understand is 

PSALM 80

So lets talk about that.

[matthiaskrieter]

Because it was God's plan- this will be clear some day

[eglysbroslat]

He resigned because he had an international warrant arrest and Elizabeth ll.

[nicholasjanosy]

Because the boy he fiddled was about to call the authorities.

[pacificrules]

Because he pope benedict was told to step down, or they will rat him out of his own sexual abuse in the 1960s and 70s.

Pope Benedict XVI stepped down to make way for the destroyer Jorge Bergoglio. This is the Prophecy of Saint Francis-

“Act bravely, my brethren; take courage and trust in the Lord. The time is fast approaching in which there will be great trials and afflictions; perplexities and dissensions, both spiritual and temporal, will abound; the charity of many will grow cold, and the malice of the wicked will increase. The devils will have unusual power; the immaculate purity of our Order, and of others, will be so much obscured that there will be very few Christians who obey the true Supreme Pontiff and the Roman Church with loyal hearts and perfect charity.

“At the time of this tribulation a man, not canonically elected, will be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavor to draw many into error and death. Then scandals will be multiplied, our Order will be divided, and many others will be entirely destroyed, because they will consent to error instead of opposing it.

“There will be such diversity of opinions and schisms among the people, the religious and the clergy, that, except those days were shortened, according to the words of the Gospel, even the elect would be led into error, were they not specially guided, amid such great confusion, by the immense mercy of God….

“Those who preserve their fervor and adhere to virtue with love and zeal for the truth, will suffer injuries and persecutions as rebels and schismatics; for their persecutors, urged on by the evil spirits, will say they are rendering a great service to God by destroying such pestilent men from the face of the earth…

“Some preachers will keep silent about the truth, and others will trample it under foot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them, not a true Pastor, but a destroyer.”
