Should Pope Benedict Resign?




From the whispers in the Loggia.

"As frustrated as the pope may be about the continuing debate, at least one Vatican insider thinks Benedict may even consider turning in his resignation. Father Eberhard von Gemmingen, head of the German language staff at Radio Vatican, said the pope “has his back to the wall,” in comments to German radio. “As I know the pope,” he said, “then it is certainly possible that he has thought to himself: ‘At some point I might have to step down so that the papacy is respected.’”
Horrifying is when children are abused and the poor do not have the gospel preached to them.
We should feel for all that are in pain. But too much pain has come from this peritus turned dogmatist. Nobody wanted the job more than Joe R. The truth is he has been very heartless with many in the church. Over orthodoxy not orthopraxy. He is finding there is more accountability as pope. No more wondering whether it is he or John Paul.

I find it something how you believe he is the best for the job. Maybe all of us long consciously to re-enter the womb of the hierarchy.

He should resign and let the bishops be bishops of the people. Not automotons of Rome.
