Pope Been-A-Dick Decides To Resign as Pontiff of the Roman Church |
This one is a head scratcher for many reasons. Although this is not the first Pontiff to resign as the Vicar of Christ, one must wonder, "Why does someone submit a resignation as Pope?" After all, this is a luxurious vocation. There is talk that Joseph A. Ratzinger is experiencing detrimental health issues. Whatever the case may be, where is the Roman Catholic god in all of this?
When I first learned that Been-A-Dick was resigning as Pope, I questioned the motive behind it: Was this a power move by the elite? Had Ratzinger failed to complete a mission? Has someone new been selected to carry out the plan?
Again, who quits as Pope? Ever met a Catholic? Catholics are pious to the tenth power; a Pope is lauded by Catholics. Popes are heralded as Christ on earth. In addition to that, the Roman Catholic Church is one of the most affluent and powerful organizations ever! Who relinquishes that kind of wealth and power? Are you scratching your head yet?
Aside from the secular aspect of being a Pope, let us bring some attention to the religious aspect of it; would it not seem appropriate to conclude that the Roman Catholic god appointed Mr. Ratzinger as the Bishop of Rome? Was he not the Christian god's choice? To a skeptic as myself, why would the god of Catholicism appoint someone as Pope just to have him resign?
More importantly, where is divine intervention? Let's just say that there are health issues; where are the miracles? Where is the power of prayer? Why hasn't the Christian god healed the Roman Pontiff? If Christ can raise Lazarus from the dead, surely he can heal his Vicar, right? Still not scratching your head?
Given any case, we know that the Catholic Church has a chronic history of deception and secrecy. Can we genuinely believe that Pope Benedict XVI has health issues and that is the reason for his resignation at the end of February? What if there is something that the public is not supposed to know? What if there are other reasons for his resignation that involves sinister motives? Who surrenders a vocation as Pope, a position that offers fame, power, and money? There is something underneath the veil that we do not know. But do know, "whatever is hid in the dark, shall be brought to the light".
