I agree.  I really don't see what difference it makes.  Neither are consistent with Catholicism that ancestors would recognise.

Pope Francis has made conservative NOs start to wake up and smell the coffee.

I wonder when each of them will die.

Answer this question and please TRY be honest.  If a more conservative Cardinal had been elected and was restoring Tradition would a single traditionalist in the world question the validity of Ratzinger's resignation? Would they?

If a liberal made the same arguments that the new conservative Pope Pius XIII was not really Pope, would a single Traditionalist give it the time of day?
Of course people would still question a conservative's resignation, they might even have a [better] case depending on how you look at it. I mean at least then, the crooks would have a reason to nix a pope who was actually out to restore the faith.

BTW, welcome back!

ggreg, are you even interested in the truth(?), because you seem to be avoiding the facts or haven't really taken the time to study them (see "Juridical Validity" thread).

What facts?

Please make sure they are facts so I don't waste time investigating speculations.

Just quickly list facts below and I will spend as long as necessary to investigate them fully.

But make certain they are facts.

fact
/fakt/
noun
  • a thing that is known or proved to be true.

The man you think is Pope has not only resigned but confirmed his resignation and said speculation  about it is absurd.

Yet you claim he is still Pope.

Clearly he is not THAT ill or insane because he has lasted another 6 years in retirement.  Six years.

That strongly suggests to me that he has no will to be Pope and his will to resign in 2013 was free.  It is hard to see what he would need to do to convince those who don't believe his resignation is valid.

There are people on this forum who think multiple space agencies around the world and hundreds of astronauts are covering up the fact that the world is flat.  So, if it is any consolation to you, I think it is more likely that B16 is still Pope than that the world is flat.

Probability of 0.01 as opposed to probability of 0.
