Baxter is a false prophet.

Pope benedict probably got an offer that he couldn't refuse.....

He let too many state secrets get out. Probably had a choice.... resign or drink this little glass of clear liquid.

This is my suspicion as well. Something isn't right, no pope has resigned in 600 years.

I was a few blocks away from St. Peter's this past summer when he was making his weekly public appearance. We waited until later in the afternoon to visit St. Peter's because the crowd and security was crazy.

However I was blessed by Pope Paul VI back in 1976 at Castel Gandolfo, his summer residence outside of Rome.

Now we wait for the smoke to come up the chimmney!

Visiting St. Peter's and the Vatican museums again last summer (I had not been there since a teenager) was truly amazing. Particularly the special little known unadvertised archelogical tour we took that had us going under St. Peter's.

As most of you know I am NOT a conspiracy buff. I think the simplest explanation for most things is usually the correct one.

This Pope is in very poor health and I don't doubt that he is miserable enough trying to carry out his duties that he would take this extraordinary step. Modern sensibilities do make their way into traditions and I bet this is the case.

You have to wonder how many Popes were either totally senile or so incapacitated that others were really running things behind the scenes. Perhaps he does not want to be one of those.

I hope you are right. There is no way to know for sure. I'd say there is a 50/50 chance either way. I never used to think conspiratorially until I lived through one myself. Now, I can't help but see that there is a chance that things are not always what they appear.

I feel this way about our Supreme Court Justices. Some need to resign, I think at the age of 65!!

American Cardinals will have unprecedented influence in selecting the new Pope. The Pope increased the number of American Cardinals to 19 and 11 of them will be in the conclave that selects the next pope. That number is only exceeded by the Italian delegation which is 28 in number.

Most likely true, most of the dire predictions of the RCC have come to nothing, in modern times at least.

speaking of the nonsense, isnt there supposed to be a black pope who is supposed to be the last good pope before the bad pope comes in as the Prophet of Revalations?

In the old days an infirm Pope could just disappear behind the scenes but in this modern day of 24 hour media there is pressure for him to be both seen and heard. That is a lot to ask of an 85 year old man in extemely poor health.

BTW - The B&B we stayed at in Rome was in an apartment building across the street from the Vatican. We could look out our breakfast room window to the left and see straight across into the Papal apartments.

The wall around the Vatican is massive. Where we were at it was probably 20 feet tall or more with security cameras every few feet.

When we took that special archelogical tour we got to go through a gate and into an area not open to the public. The Swiss guards that let us in and that we spoke to looked like their uniforms were designed by Elton John.

I just want to know if an upcoming Pope will be the coming Anti-christ? That was just common knowledge -during the 80's.

Re: Pope Resigns!!!!!
 
I think the real questions that should be asked regarding what will happen if a black Pope is elected is what will the popemobile look like?

Will it be outfitted with spinners? Fuzzy dice on the rearview mirror? These are deep theological geo political questions that need to be answered.

Baxter isn't a prophet, false or otherwise. Trying to interpret existing prophecies in scripture and figure out how it applies to current events isn't the same as making inspired prophecies of things to come.

On facebook people keep saying this is prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes.

What prophecy would that be?

the pope is ailing sick at 85 years of age.

A few friends who follow Baxter and other end time people are saying the next pope is the anti-christ. I thought that was supposed to be Gorbechev, with the mark on his forehead and everything.

I think the mafia is involved.

Cult leaders DO resign after being threatened by the mafia.

Could Obama's half brother be the next "black pope" ?

Maybe Oprah will be the first female black pope.

How can it NOT be Gorby especially with that birthmark shaped like North America on his head.

Re: Pope Resigns!!!!!
 
I dont think the Catholic Church is particularly relevant to end time prophecy. Now it HAS played a big role in things past but I doubt the Pope is going to be a major player in the beast end time system.

We are already living in the end time beast system and have been for some time.

Really? Has there ever been a pope that wasn't a false prophet?
