On that Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI

Excerpts from Harvesting the Fruit

[Note: there is some awakening beginning]

… Does anyone other than the willfully deluded and painfully ignorant still honestly believe that Benedict XVI wasn’t forced from office by a substantial threat either real or imagined?

He told the world that he was stepping aside in order to make room for a man better suited to answer important “questions of deep relevance for the life of faith,”  and who would more vigorously “govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel.”

All indications are that those who orchestrated what looks more and more like a hostile takeover of the papacy couldn’t even muster the patience to put on a good show at the conclave in order to hide the appearance of having preselected Jorge Bergoglio well before the doors were even locked.

No… Pope Benedict didn’t depart for reasons of physical and mental health, and there’s not a Catholic this side of brain dead who is still buying that lie.
