Pope Benedict XVI to step aside on Feb. 28
The 85-year-old pope says he no longer has the strength to carry out his duties, announcing that he will resign effective February 28. NBC's Claudio Lavanga reports from Rome, who says the resignation "came as a shock."
By Claudio Lavanga and Alastair Jamieson, NBC News
Updated at 10:50 a.m. ET: ROME -- Pope Benedict XVI announced Monday he will step aside as leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics on Feb. 28, saying he no longer has the strength to carry out his duties.
Speaking in Latin, the 85-year-old announced his decision during an address at the "Concistory for the canonization of the martyrs of Otranto", a small event held early in the morning.
The decision makes him the first pope to resign since the Middle Ages.
His statement was posted on the Vatican Radio website. Carrying out the duties of being pope required "both strength of mind and body," it said.
"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," the pontiff's statement said.
The choice was a "decision of great importance" for the church, the statement added.
German news agency dpa quoted the pontiff's brother, Georg Ratzinger, as saying his brother was increasingly struggling to walk and had been contemplating stepping aside for several months. "His age is weighing on him," he reportedly added.
There are several papal contenders in the wings, but no obvious front-runner, The Associated Press reported:
Contenders to be his successor include Cardinal Angelo Scola, archbishop of Milan, Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, the archbishop of Vienna, and Cardinal Marc Ouellet, the Canadian head of the Vatican's office for bishops.
Many Catholics were taken aback by the decision.
"This was a huge shock to the church; nobody saw it coming [although there] might have been a few hints," said Christopher Lamb, Assistant Editor at Catholic weekly The Tablet. "But in many ways given that if you are getting old and finding it very difficult to run the church it is only the right thing to step down."
Reuters quoted a Vatican spokesman as saying the pontiff did not fear schism in the Church following his resignation.
But while the day-to-day running of the church would go on, big decisions such as appointing new bishops and issuing papal documents would come to a halt until a new pontiff was chosen, Lamb said.
"At the top level of the church there will be a freeze," he said.
A complex sequence of events to elect the next pope has been set in course by the pope's announcement on Monday, although rules governing the selection are the same as those after a papal death.
'A decision of great courage'
Archbishop Vincent Nichols, president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales, said that the pope's announcement had "shocked and surprised everyone."
"Yet, on reflection, I am sure that many will recognize it to be a decision of great courage and characteristic clarity of mind and action," he added.
Born in Bavaria, Germany, in 1927, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger became the 265th pope in April 2005, describing himself "a simple, humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord."
Reuters noted:
Ratzinger served in the Hitler Youth during World War Two when membership was compulsory. He was never a member of the Nazi party and his family opposed Adolf Hitler's regime.
His tough stance on theological issues had earned him the nickname "God's rottweiler." He was the oldest pope elected in nearly 300 years, according to The Associated Press.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she respected Pope Benedict's decision to step down.
"If the pope himself, after thorough reflection, has come to the conclusion that he doesn't have the strength anymore to carry out his duties, then this has my utmost respect," she said at press conference on Monday.
She also praised him as "one of the most remarkable thinkers of our age."
The last pope to step aside was Gregory XII in 1415, who did so in order to end the Great Western Schism.
Greg Burke, senior communications adviser to the Holy See, confirmed the pope will step down on February 28 at 8 p.m. local time (2 p.m. ET), leaving the office vacant until a successor is chosen.
The Associated Press added:
The move sets the stage for the Vatican to hold a conclave to elect a new pope by mid-March, since the traditional mourning time that would follow the death of a pope doesn't have to be observed.
Reuters noted that Benedict XVI "ruled over a slower-paced, more cerebral and less impulsive Vatican."
It added:
But while conservatives cheered him for trying to reaffirm traditional Catholic identity, his critics accused him of turning back the clock on reforms by nearly half a century and hurting dialogue with Muslims, Jews and other Christians. ...
After appearing uncomfortable in the limelight at the start, he began feeling at home with his new job and showed that he intended to be pope in his way.
Despite great reverence for his charismatic, globe-trotting predecessor -- whom he put on the fast track to sainthood and whom he beatified in 2011 -- aides said he was determined not to change his quiet manner to imitate John Paul's style. ...
The first German pope for some 1,000 years and the second non-Italian in a row, he traveled regularly, making about four foreign trips a year, but never managed to draw the oceanic crowds of his predecessor.

Remember Billie Meier's contact prophesies.
Eerily they have been pretty accurate.
Here is what it says about the popes.
Also take time to read the page as many have come true.
QuoteAfter the turn of the millennium, the papacy will exist only a short period. Pope John Paul II is the third from last in this position. After him, only one additional pontificate will follow. Then a Pontifex Maximus follows who will be known as Petrus Romanus. Under his religious rule, the end of the Catholic Church will come, a total collapse becoming inevitable.
That will be the beginning of the worst catastrophe that will ever have befallen the human beings and the Earth. Many Catholic clerics, priests, bishops, cardinals and many others will be killed and their blood will flow in streams. But also the reformed version of Christianity will become just as infinitely small, as does Catholicism.

sounds like father malachy's prophecy.
why would that pope jump ship?
well they are trying to convince us that this is bible prophecy unveiling. now if they wrote the prophecy 2000 years ago, for just this time, they certainly didn't study it very well today, cause they are missing some huge pieces. i don't know what to make of that.
guess we'll be hearing from all those This will be the last pope folks .
well that didn't take long at all

I think such an admission would require courage, especially given how public a figure he is. I can respect that.

We better send the Pegasus Strike Force to collect the books in the Vatican Vault... for posterity :D
well let's think about this. what is the mark of the beast? for all the enlil fans out there, i do believe it's the crescent moon (sin the moon god), which symbollizes the menstrual-lunar cycle.
yep, enlil and enki will be at it again.

egads he has the look of a man about to have a big feast.. lookie those horned hands.
LOL! oh i get it! the idea is, that obama kicked him out of the vat. oh boy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcbloBA2Lek
so let me see if i got this straight, the pope making satan symbols with both hands is being ousted by satan, which is supposedly evidence that obama is antichrist because we all know the popes really are christian guys and the poor pope just got evicted by the evil guy and now catholics everywhere will mourn? ?
you can't make this stuff up.
Quote"i saw satan fall from the heavens like lightning"
Starting to creep me out even more here!
oh wait, there's more lol!
okay, i have this little pet theory that when jesus called the pharisees, "the synagogue of satan" that it was a reference to the egyptian "temple of set." AN (anu) was the heavenly father god, and his name became the generic god word in egypt in much the same fashion that LIL became the generic god word in mesopotamia.
so set+an=setan or satan, the serpent god and murderer of osiris. Anu had nothing to do with it, just that his name was associated with the generic word for god.
people get confused when they study the serpent in the garden, who was not set. the serpent in the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, was dna.
i don't think the egyptians applied the serpent references all in the same way. they would've never worn the symbol for the enemy of osiris, plastered over their foreheads.
the word satan doesn't even show up in the old testament till the time of king david.
oh doh, i missed the best part.
during the hyksos migration to egypt, set was also known as.......................
wait for it you crazy stargate fans.................
............apophis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUcvwYdSAG4
apparently this idea has been floating around since before 2008
hopefully you can tell i'm joking? lol
it's just when you start making correlations, it can get pretty wild.
to clarify the meaning of satan.
satan is the accuser. in the new testament it is revealed that the laws of moses are the accuser.
i believe enlil gave the israelites the law.
they are mostly not bad laws (although there are some i just don't understand), but it accuses those who don't follow it.
and because we often have a hard time differentiating between our physical bodies and our eternal spirits, we get accused quite often by the law. since everyone basically knows right and wrong, such as the issues with lying, stealing and so on, it's like having enlil times countless people, and we are all accusing each other constantly it seems like. this, according to the new testament, is the law of sin (enlil, the accuser)
p.s. the text that refers to the serpent losing his legs, in the book of genesis, must mean that at some point, some section of our dna that resolved to eternally repairing bodies, stop being unzippable and that was what it meant by loss of legs, perhaps. cause it has to unzip to produce proteins and other dna strands used by the body for repair and so forth. hmmm.. see video.

Age has nothing to do with ideas you can have about life, like sexuality and use of birth control.
His ideas are from -14.800 bc 8)
I know I present my simple and little thought very "black white" as we say here. But this is what it is. ::)
I hope the new pope will be black as a change and has an open mind to life as it is.

I mean hey, Vatican has said for years they will baptize Aliens :D
well people are chomping at the bit for the black guy to be pope because his name is peter, and well, you know malachy's prophecy. why is everyone so gun ho for us all to die and get butchered in some horrible rendition of stalin and hitler?
gads it's like people are under some kind of "kill me, kill me" trance or something
The Catholic dogma lives on Undo..like a rolling stone down a hill of mindless sheep, turning them to haggis as it rolls over their hearts and minds.
Someday they will awaken and realize what theyve been following is a vile effort...then they will be like the smoker who quits, and turns into a poster child for non smoking...thats what sheep do..follow and parrot.
this was my rant on ats
talmudic satanists killed jews in germany via their puppet hitler, while in cahoots with the vatican, and then blamed it on white protestant christians.
talmudic satanists, in league with pagan rome (before it became catholic), stole all the wealth of the torah jews, all the gold from the temple, slaughtered them and chased them out of their homeland.
advent islam. the vatican and talmudic satanists, created islam, and used it to, again, steal all the wealth of the torah jews, slaughter them and chase them out of their homeland. at this point, the leaders of islam are full members of the double layer deceit, where the top of their religion is actually in league with the vatican and the talmudic satanists the entire time, including the crusades AND all subsequent wars. their followers are, for the most part, completely in the dark about all of this. they are all innocent victims, and are about to be made victims again.
all european leaders are in on it, and are preparing to let the muslims from foreign lands, slaughter the european people. the muslim followers have no idea they are actually doing what the talmudic dudes and the vatican have decreed. they are completely clueless. they actually believe they are doing the work of god.
across the pond, talmudic satanists, the vatican and high ranking leaders of islam, have robbed the people of the usa, created a police state and are actively encouraging the immigration of large groups of hispanics, who they have trained to hate anybody with fair skin, doesn't matter what religion, as long as their skin is white. they've also brain washed wide swaths of blacks in america, to believe the people who work to pay for their food stamps, welfare checks, college, and etc, are their enemies. this is the american version of what is going to happen to europe.
they are nothing if not equal opportunity destroyers. they will sell out their entire race for a few moments of power and money.
