Thank you. (A) But this raises another question for me. If he thinks he is the pope, isn't he guilty of schism if he allows the universal Church to adhere to Francis, whom he therefore believes is not the pope? (B) Wouldn't such an act of schism separate Benedict from the Church?
.
(C) And if Benedict didn't want to resign, why did he?
A and C are great questions and are related.
If Benedict was threatened by the CIA or other demonic-led entity, as many think, then he resigned out of duress because the threat to his life, his family, and/or the Church was very real. According to Father Kramer, Benedict's resignation was worded carefully and showed that he was under duress, so that he did not resign voluntarily, nor did he create a schism.
Therefore, (C) Benedict was forced to resign under duress by ungodly demonic forces. And such a forced resignation under duress cannot be valid.
