Re: Pope Benedict XVI is Officially Resigned. There is No Pope
I noticed you subtracted the "mourning" period 15-9 to get the earliest possible date at the 6th but would that mean the max would be 20-9 and the vote would be at the latest on the 11th?
 Quoting: Machine42


unless they agree to move up the conclave, earliest possible day is the 15th, latest is the 20th. they're meeting on monday and oould theoretically start the conclave the next day.

someone on another thread was s, so it saying that all the eligible electors have to be present for them to do that, and at least two have already said they're not going to attend the conclave. so i'd bet it'll start the 15th.

Re: Pope Benedict XVI is Officially Resigned. There is No Pope
I think all that made fun of him during his pontificat should be ashamed of themselves.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35145449


why?
 Quoting: Rev StarGazer


Because one should have compassion and mercy. He is an elderly frail man who happens to be Pope. And the way people made fun of him, of his looks etc..shameful.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35145449


I agree. Many here are disgusting holier than thou degenerates. Paroting whatever gossip they heard about the Pope thinking in all their infallible wisdom that they are right and could do no wrong. The same infallible wisdom that landed them in their moms basement.

With the bashing the Catholic church has recieved all over the world, the question in my mind is why don't these same morons try this shit face to face with like for example Muslims? They'll get their asses handed to them. Specially those gays who deem it neccessary to protest very little thing the Catholic church does.

Dumb morons blaming the Catholic church for everything yet it's their fucking government and corporations that fucked the world thrice over and still doing so.

Religious gay marriage, adultery, perversions and population control. These are all in the agenda. Guess what is the only significant western faction opposing this is left? It's the Catholic church.

So go ahead sheeples. Cast your stones. Follow what your great tube is telling you. You think you have power? You think you are free? You think your thoughts are your thoughts? Baaah.

Re: Pope Benedict XVI is Officially Resigned. There is No Pope
"I am no longer the pope,' Benedict XVI says as he bids public farewell"

Benedict's historic resignation as pope takes effect at 8 p.m. (2 p.m. ET).

[link to www.cnn.com]
 Quoting: [link to www.cnn.com]



Pope Benedict XVI is the first pontiff in 600 years to resign, and his last day has finally arrived. Benedict is scheduled to leave the palace around 5:00 p.m. (11am EST) on Thursday for the last time as pontiff, and will fly to the papl retreat at Castel Gandolfo. He will officially resign at 8:00 p.m. (2pm EST) sharp, when the Swiss Guards will go off duty and the doors of the palace will close.
[link to www.policymic.com]
 Quoting: [link to www.policymic.com]


So when will the next pope be elected?

Well here is how it works


*PHASE ONE

The first phase begins with the formal resignation of Pope Benedict XVI at 2 p.m. EST February 28th. Typically, this period begins when a pope dies, but since Benedict is stepping down, he will leave the Vatican and stay at the pope’s summer home at Castel Gandolfo. He will not participate in the election of his successor.

*PHASE TWO
The College of Cardinals will meet on or about February 28 and an official date will be set for the conclave. This process usually begins 15 to 20 days after the death of a pope. But, since Benedict XVI resigned and there is no 9-day mourning period, the conclave could start as early as March 6 (six days after the resignation) or no later than March 18.

*PHASE THREE

This is the actual election of the pope, by the 117 cardinals under the age of 80 who are eligible to vote. The conclave will begin with a morning mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, followed by a procession to the Sistine Chapel.

The Cardinals will take an oath to maintain secrecy and follow the apostolic constitution. They must remain behind closed doors until a new pope is elected.

Once the deliberations begin, they will need a two-thirds majority to elect a new pope.

Each time the cardinals vote, they burn their ballots. Black smoke indicates they haven’t reached a majority yet.

If a new pope has been chosen, the smoke will be white
[link to boston.cbslocal.com]
 Quoting: How A New Pope Is Elected: [link to boston.cbslocal.com]


So there we go... Thats how the next Pope will be elected.

As of 2pm EST... As of this post:
the Papacy of the 265th Pope, Pope Benedict XVI is over.
The Roman Catholic World is officially without a Pope until the conclave votes and elects a new one...

There are around 1.16 billion Roman Catholics worldwide...
[link to en.wikipedia.org]

Thats a lot of people who are without a 'spiritual leader'

These next few weeks are historical... Simply because this is the first pope to resign since Pope Gregory XII in 1415
[link to en.wikipedia.org]

And because during our lives... we spend more time with a Pope in power... than not...

It is interesting to note that Pope Benedict XVI is the 10th Pope to resign and the 3rd Benedict to resign.

Here are 2 links that are stating the resignation is official
[link to www.usatoday.com]
[link to www.foxnews.com]
 Quoting: Dr. Acula




You are 50 years too late. The traditional Catholic Church is the FAITH, not necessarily the Mass or the so called Pope. Listen to Saint Athanasius: "Thus, the more violently they try to occupy the places of worship, the more they separate themselves from the Church. They claim that they represent the Church; but in reality, they are the ones who are expelling themselves from it and going astray. Even if Catholics faithful to Tradition are reduced to a handful, they are the ones who are the true Church of Jesus Christ."
"May God console you! ... What saddens you ... is the fact that others have occupied the churches by violence, while during this time you are on the outside. It is a fact that they have the premises – but you have the Apostolic Faith. They can occupy our churches, but they are outside the true Faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but the Faith dwells within you. Let us consider: what is more important, the place or the Faith? The true Faith, obviously. Who has lost and who has won in the struggle – the one who keeps the premises or the one who keeps the Faith?
The Vatican II sect is a false Catholic religion. An imposter and deception to Catholics since 1959. They have kept the external appearances but have rejected the dogmatic teachings of the Church etc. The last 5 popes are anti popes and the Church has been without a pope for the last 50 years. But it is all coming to an end now... pray and convert.
