It's an incredible cope when Bennycantists contend Ratzinger didn't have a choice to resign or was somehow shielded from what was going on right under his nose or got bad advice when it came to the horrendous appointments he made or the crap E Michael Jones peddles, explaining Benny's German guilt from the h0Ɩ0h0αx colored his position on the joos.
You would need to have a Mr. Magoo level of blindness to stumble through life like that

It wouldn't be "nice" to speak ill of dead false shepherds who spent a lifetime dedicated to the destruction of as many souls as possible. No, let us pray for Luther's soul too while we're at it.

My what a dilemma it is to be a Catholic. Do we pray God will forgive a Pope who contributed to countless other souls who lost their faith and died in that state. The one thing we cannot do, and that is judge him according to Catholic teaching, which as I understand it means say someone is gone to hell. That said, our faith also tells us heretics and those who contributed to the loss of souls go to Hell. Now the idea that he considered himself a pope who was a modernist as we understand it, and that in his last hours he repented a lifetime of ideas that were anti-Catholic, is highly unlikely. If you believe that why didn't he tell the flock to discard much of his teaching? Why did he leave others to keep believing his heresies and let them to hell. He was a pope which is a position that has a far greater responsibility than the sinners in the pews. Oh yes, didn't someone tell us that hell is paved with the souls of the clergy.
I think it best to leave him in God's hands now and try to cope with his legacy in Pope Frances, another driving souls into Hell.

So much for the prediction that two popes die the same night.

Yeah, maybe it had a chance if it said the two "anti-popes" or the two "false popes".

Speaking at a London conference on 5 July 2016, Cardinal Sarah asked all bishops and priests to begin celebrating the Mass ad orientem "wherever possible", "perhaps" by 27 November 2016, the start of Advent. He encouraged all Roman rite Catholics to receive Communion kneeling and said that Pope Francis had asked him to "continue the liturgical work Pope Benedict began". Sarah then met privately with Francis and on 11 July the Holy See Press Office issued a statement that said that Sarah's London remarks had been "incorrectly interpreted, as if they were intended to announce new indications different to those given so far in the liturgical rules and in the words of the Pope regarding celebration facing the people and the ordinary rite of the Mass", that celebrating Mass facing the congregation (versus populum) was "desirable wherever possible" and not to be superseded by ad orientem. It reported that the Pope and the Cardinal were in complete agreement on these points.

See, I for one was not expecting this to happen now, as my personal piecing together of the timeline suggests 2029 for the start of ths "great unravelling", and the above prophecy states that there will be a restoration of the Church after the death of the two popes in the same night.  I don't expect the full restoration of the Church until about 2033.

This is based on the following clues:

1) Our Lady appeared to Sister Lucia to request the consecration of Russia on June 13, 1929.
2) Our Lord later appeared to Sister Lucia and complained that the popes were delaying "just like the Kings of France" and would, as a result, similarly follow them in misfortune.
3) When Our Lord had requested that the Kings of France consecrate the country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, it was exactly 100 years TO THE DAY of Our Lord's request that the King was deposed.  That would be June 13, 1929 -> June 13, 2029 in our case.
4) About 3.5 years later, the King of France was executed).  June 13, 2029 + a bit over 3.5 years is early 2033 (200 years after Our Lord's crucifixion)
5) Pope Leo XIII had the vision that Satan would be given special control for a period of 75 years.  After this, if you look at Pope Leo's LONG prayer to St. Michael, it specifically speaks of the intention by the Church's enemies to "strike the Shepherd" and scatter the sheep.
6) Roncalli usurped the papacy in October of 1958, since which time Satan has been in control by eclipsing the Church, and 75 years would be 2033.

So my working theory is that on the night of June 13, 2029, two popes will die the same night.  Perhaps Jorge resigns before then and is still floating around in 2029 as the new "Pope Emeritus".  At that point, a Great Chastisement begins.  Russia invades Western Europe due to some provocation.  At some point, according to Blessed Anna Maria Taigi, Sts. Peter and Paul will appear and desginate the new pope  That would be the "Holy Pope" of prophecy destined to restore the Church.  This Holy Pope would the consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary ... at which point, the chaos of the World War would immediately and miraculously end, largely through the Three Days of Darkness, and everyone will recognize that Our Lady's intercession brought the turnaround and will convert to the True Faith.  Then a period of peace, about a generation, will then be followed by the arrival of Antichrist.  Just my current working theory, but a lot of dots add up to pointing to 2029 as the start, given Our Lady's request in 1929 to consecrate Russia and Our Lord's likening their delay to that of the Kings of France.

I think his resignation had to do with not being able to bring the SSPX on board the conciliar church (well, at least not officially). He gave his resignation, what, six weeks or so after the SSPX announcement that they would not reconcile with Rome? I also think that he, at the last minute, intentionally put a wrench in the works by giving a stipulation to an agreement that the SSPX could not meet. It might seem like a minor reason for wanting to resign, but someone may have been blackmailing him. Just a theory.
