Revelations about Pope Benedict XVI's Resignation
Recent revelations include secret letters between Monsignor Bucks and Pope Benedict XVI, suggesting that Benedict intended to fully resign from the papal office in 2013. This claim ignites ongoing debates about the legitimacy of his resignation and the circumstances surrounding it. Many argue that the language in Benedict's Declaratio does not meet canonical standards for a proper abdication, raising questions about whether he could have retained his role as a 'pope emeritus.' Such a situation raises implications about the validity of Pope Francis's papacy if Benedict did not resign in a canonical sense.
