This struck me as about the most egregious thing he has done. I don’t think he’s renouncing his trappings of power that he enjoys by erroneously being identified as “pope.” I think it telegraphs a plan to be the last “pope” though. Throughout his “papacy,” I have seen hints that he wants to end the papacy.
I believe this would have merited a pig-roasting in saner times. :heretic:
