Respect!? You can't find that anymore.......they would quickly respect a footballer, they would quickly respect some Rap star, but the man who represents Christ, the leader of all men, the Prince of the Apostles, the Vicar of our Christ, the Successor of the Apostles......They will show no respect because they can hide behind their silly little computers saying things against the Pope which even the Devil finds repulsive. May God bless Benedict XVI and thank you for all you have done Holy Father
Even as an atheist I cannot help but like and admire this man. He never wanted to be pope, but he did a fine job and I hope he's able to enjoy his retirement.
DrinkWater22 .. I watch him when he stood out on the balcony waving to people the day he was elected . And all I could do was stare in wonder. Why as I looked at him and that he resembled the old witch with the poison Apple in the snow whit movie he resembled the old woman with the poison Apples so much that I’ll never be able to not see his coincidence , I come to realize in life , that there is no coincidences..
I'm really surprised this hasn't had more views this was an historic moment and had some deep, esoteric and spiritual implications as well as dramatic use of ritual. It basically says the Catholic church acknowledges the last Emeritus Pope and thus a new age
I really miss you Pope Emeristus. After all scandals of the catholic church revealed lately, Archbishop Vigano letter, and so on.. you were living and fighthing with mafias and “wolves” including the St Gallen Members during your pontificate. May God bless you and protect you
It's really incredible to see this. When you look back at Papal ancient history, and how violent those transitions would be, and how far we've progressed as a humanity.
Pope Benedict XVI we love you as Our TRUE POPE!!!! God the Father will redeem His church soon!!!!! Our Loyalty To His TRUE Vicar will amends. We will support you OUR TRUE POPE!!!!
Retired Pope Benedict 16th will be praying, reading and writing and his writings as Retired Pope should be much interesting now that he has time for his love of academia!.
paul John was also sick but he never left the Vatican until he died .No pope has ever left the Vatican because he was ill they stayed till they were carried out in a casket . This is very strange because he is till living and is doing well and writing books .So why was he taken out ?
So many hateful, idiotic, juvenile posts. Bashing the Barque of Saint Peter has become a past time for those who read at a third grade level. Simply pathetic.
Poor man..poor man...He is successor of the Apostles because he is successor of the Apostles. St.Peter who Christ placed as the Pope was head of the Church. St.Peter died and St.Linus was elected by the other apostles, and so on and so forth until today..... So YOUR argument is rendered null and void. Vicar of Christ is because Christ said "do you love me? Feed my sheep" What is a vicar? derived from Latin "Vacarius" as he who is deputy to look after" Is it not true that Peter was deputy ?
There us been much scandal in the Catholic Church and some guilty priests but there are many faithful priests who serve and I think we should not accuse all for the crimes of some. If God judges His own how much more will He judge the sinner.
People, respect Buddhism; Buddhism is real and always true. Buddhas teaches us not to greed, not to anger, and not to lust. Christian talk bad about Buddhas will face hell. Even if you believe in Jesus, I assure those that don't believe in Buddhas and say bad about Buddhas and passed it on to people and say Buddhism is not true; you will go to hell as well; you will be in hell for a very long time. This is a law or karma.
James Duong But Buddhism is not true. God the Son became Man to teach us the Truth, and show us the way to Heaven. If Christians said Buddhism is true, they would be lying. So, Christians cannot say Buddhism is true.
Beware, Chatelaine202, Francis has charm, charismaq and good intentions. New singer arrives on the scene, songs are just the same but in a different key from before.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Luke 4:8
I remember his message in 2012, the guy from vatican standing before him looked really familiar, only thing i did not understand was his madness; which either he was there to kill the all audience or tell the audience "go home, pope does not feel good" if pope was going to talk on his own instead of reading from the paper in his hand.
Then go to the Bible. Would you listen to the heart of David? He wasn't perfect.God still called him a man after His own heart. How about the wisdom of Solomon? He also fell into sin. But God used him yet to write the wisest proverbs and observations.How about Jesus, Who never sinned? Who will you let teach you?
I'm seeing a lot of comments regarding his possible role in the church coverup of decades of child SA within the clergy. Can anyone please tell me if these accusations are indeed based on facts? If so, where might one find legitimate documentation of this accusation? Regardless, I will pray for his soul.
A day ahead of the papal conclave, faces at the scandal-struck Vatican were even redder than usual after it emerged that the Holy See had purchased a €23 million (£21 million) share of a Rome apartment block that houses Europe’s biggest gay sauna. There are 18 other Vatican apartments in the block, many of which house priests. The church has avoided hefty payments to the Italian state. The properties are recognised as part of the Holy City.
By the way i don't speak the language he was talking. I always ask myself "which one has more side effect heroin or heroin money?" and i always come up with the heroin money as answer, because it sounds like heroin money is stronger than any power & it would be visible to anybody seen the guy standing before pope in 2012 new year message.
now you judge my heart when theres no way for you to know. you mock my religious beliefs. you try to hurt my feelings. how are you any different then? not accepting my apology is not christian. I did the right thing. I apologized. I cant force you to accept but I'm not going to beg. I bet you didnt bother to read the hate filled name calling comments i always get from catholics. but thats ok right? anyway, I tried. I wish you well. no grudges on my end. adios.
I dont believe for 1 minute that Benidict went of his own accord, no cardinal that gets the TOP JOB leaves it and certainly not 2 b remembered as the first Pope who quit in 600 years ? Something Dodgy goin on in that place🤔
If another Pope Francis comes, the Catholic Church will develop the religious, economic, social, humanitarian, etc. worldly aspects faster than the divine will and turn it into a fun church and go to heaven.
Everything around you is nature. The way things happen,is the way of nature. It's really just common sense. We def have a creator but it's not the one you read about in the Bible. The Bible is a guideline to live by,nothing more,and is actually a good book. Nothing more.
u made lots of wrong judgements & assumptions about me. but u don't really care right? right. I knew what RCC was before we 'met' & u were a 'typical' cathie then as now even after ur 'conversion' that makes u 'love' Jesus while hating me. just like 99% of cathies I deal with. I have met a very small number who were actually christian & honestly wanted to converse & we did so, disagreed respectfully & parted on friendly terms. u cuss me & call names. look at the impression u left me of cathies.
The caption to the lower right of this newscast, above the word "LIVE," says "ROME." The Vatican is not in Rome, but rather in Vatican City, which is its own independent country. It also happens to be the smallest country in the world.
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
Right,you mean like every other person claims they saw that? My dude you need to learn how to debate. You have to understand that not everyone believes what you believe,and for you tp speak as it's fact makes you look ignorant and arrogant. Stop lying,I'm pretty sure that's a sin.
The Bible is littered with gross inaccuracies. For example, the Bible says the Earth is flat, hoisted on four pillars, with a celestial dome overhead. The first measurement of the diameter of the Earth was made in 240 BCE by Eratosthenes. So even after it was known the Earth was round, the authors of the Bible were still saying it was flat. I don't obtain knowledge, or anything else, from texts that are grossly inaccurate.
Felix El Gato What Bible do you read? My Bible doesn't say the Earth is flat. And please stop trying to rewrite history with your foolish "BCE." There's nothing"common" about the years after the birth of the Christ. World history is divided in Western Civilization into "Before Christ," and "In the year of Our Lord," despite the best efforts of you antichrist propagandists. You all will die off, and the Holy Spirit of God will restore all things in Christ! ALLELUIA!!!
"the man who represents Christ, the leader of all men, the Prince of the Apostles, the Vicar of our Christ, the Successor of the Apostles" Of course non of these pseudo titles came from either God or Jesus. They're man made ... and you need look no further than this for one of the two reasons why he doesn't get the respect that you'd like. For the other reason read what Jesus says about Scribes & Pharisees in the gospels. Benedict (& the office of the Pope) is the modern day equivalent.
Safetyinyoutube...but he's the worst Pope we've had...just look at what he's doing to the church...destroying it from the inside. I'm NOT saying he's not the pope...despite my dislike of him...I still pray for him every day..if I didn't I would cease to be Catholic.
Pope Francis is the worst. He doesn't teach the apostolic doctrine, but his opinions and those of progressive Jesuits. Now the Catholic Church is full of mundane and ignorant bishops, who want to appease the world, as pope Francis does.
No you have seen NATURE,how does a picture of me smoking make me a wanna be gangster? No nerves were struck I just don't deal with idiots as well. Have fun believing in your book of fairy tales lmao
