eos User ID: 29094041 United States 02/11/2013 07:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | thank you for posting the link to Vatican Radio -- Full text of Pope's declaration 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 --------------------------------eos--------------------------------------- the first will be last, the last first, captivity captive. |

easter clown User ID: 1572549 Estonia 02/11/2013 07:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | so sad to see the fish hat pedo pope leaving before one last great clowning of the masses every easter, the pedopope looks east, past the crowds below who think he is there to greet them. he worships the sun ray obelisk, stolen from the city of the sun - heliopolis - and praises the rising SUN Horus, not the son of god, as horus rises (horizon) in the east (easter) after it has PASSED OVER (passover) the equator. the SUN is reborn (from virgo the virgin) and the morons below remain slaves on their knees. pretty funny |
