Why Ratzinger resigned as Pope. I can not find the original source for this docuмentary. Frontline, PBS? I am a revert whose husband is a recent convert. I do not know if I can share this with him. I did not know the scope of this scandal. I had hoped the video would help me understand why Ratzinger resigned. Instead it has made me doubt my choice of reverting.

You have a poor faith if the scandal caused by an anti-pope causes you to leave the true faith.

I have faith in God, always had, I do not, however, have faith in man or especially the 'men' in the "Vatican". I wish that Ratzinger would have been 20 years younger to deal with the scandalous Cardinals. Is Bergoglio cleaning up house? If he is, who is spreading the rumors he is a false Pope, the crooked Cardinals? Or is he really a corrupt Pope? In my own diocese we have problem priests. Is the whole system corrupt?

Ratzinger was once a scandalous cardinal himself. Now he is a "retired" pope! And you don't "have faith in man or especially the 'men' in the "Vatican""?

Come out of that disastrous sect which is the new church, founded by men since Vatican II.

Can you not attend a true Catholic church? The Novus Ordo, which you are attending now will only cause you to weaken and lose faith. That's the whole idea of it.

OP here, I am an EC. We still pray for the Pope.

What is an EC?

If the sins of men cause you to lose to regret reverting I'd say you never had the faith to begin with. Even the apostles abandoned Christ at certain points.

So maybe don't be so insulting and instead give the OP a break. Start by refraining from rashly thinking or stating that she never had the faith!

These are extraordinarily confusing times and not everyone has it all worked yet. In fact no one has.

I agree.

At least he tried to do something about child raping Conciliar priests, called it the 'filth' it obviously is, when Francis has, or is in the process of reversing, a decently robust system of defrocking priests created by Benedict. Given how he transferred Bp Barros from the Chilean army to the diocese of Osorno over fearsome protest (he even jeered concerned Catholics who went to Rome to remonstrate with him). Bp Barros didn't just cover up for a paedophile priest, transferring etc., a Conciliar modus operandi, but one victim, a Dr Hamilton, said Barros watched Karadima rape him. Now a paedo priest can again expect a decade of appeals, and a lot of travel while abusing children.
