DianeW88 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I am a former Catholic, and I can't see any reason to suspect anything but health issues for his resignation. It is shocking, but the man is not required to make public the results of every physical examination or condition he may be suffering from. Perhaps he's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's...not at all uncommon, given 50% of people over the age of 85 have it to some degree. Combined with other physical maladies, I can imagine that he might feel unfit to perform his duties. As an LDS person, our church prophet is there for life, so resignation would not occur, no matter his health status, but the Catholic church obviously has an "out" for papal leaders who choose it. I think it might be unsettling to Catholics because it's tinged with a tiny bit of "well, wouldn't God help him with his role?" and "If he's the Pope, doesn't he have enough faith to continue on in spite of health difficulties, as other church leaders have?" Those would have been my concerns if I were still a practicing Catholic. And I remember 1978 (I was 13) and the three different popes that year. It was a challenge for many of my family and friends. Lots of adjustments. :grouphug: to anyone who is struggling with this decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBM Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Opus Dei is not traditionally known as super-traditional liturgically. They do like beautiful liturgy and Latin but there are definitely more "extreme" Catholics out there. The entire rite of the Mass was redone after Vatican II. Benedict XVI re-instated the "old" Mass as a licit option (you needed an indult to say it previously). They are now called the "Ordinary Form" and the "Extraordinary Form". The Ordinary Form is often called the "Novus Ordo" and the Extraordinary Form is sometimes called the "Tridentine Mass" or "Traditional Latin Mass". SOME, but not nearly all, of those who prefer the old Mass are or were in formal schism with the Catholic Church. Opus Dei is just a lay movement you can join. They typically just go to their local parishes. Thank you. This is very interesting. A friend of my brother (who was in the Air Force Academy!) became a priest and I know he says the Tridentine Mass. Is that what you mean by the old Mass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBM Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 She probably means SSPX and Lefeberites (probably spelled wrong). They are people who believe that there has not been a legitimate pope since Pius 10th, that Vat II was not a true council, that the novus ordo is not a legitimate mass, blah blah blah. Some people call them "more Catholic than the pope"; really they are protestants with smells and bells. LOL! I love smells and bells!

Juniper Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 First, (((hugs))) and prayers go out to you all and B16 right now. Secondly, I think there is wisdom in him resigning and retiring for health reasons. I know that it is probably disconcerting to some to have the media spotlight again, but it is also a wonderful opportunity for the RC to shine. Both in allowing the final wishes of B16 and in electing a new Pope. I look forward to watching this unfold and hope with all my heart that this ultimately is shown as a "win" for the RC and not another negative media piece.

chiguirre Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I will be shocked if an American is chosen. I don't think that would be great for the worldwide church (much as I love America). Dh and I were rooting for Arinze as well but, yeah, I don't seem them choosing another old guy :) #1 on the list of papabile I found was Marc Ouellet and #3 is an Argentine.

Violet Crown Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Opus Dei is not a Traditionalist organization. The SSPX (a/k/a "Lefebvrites") DO believe that the current pope, and his predecessors, have been valid popes. They should not be confused with the various sedevacantist ("the See is empty") groups.

higginszoo Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 He's had 2 strokes and has a heart condition, and he is 85 years old, and he cleared his resignation with God first. Before he was pope, Cardinal Ratzinger had asked the Holy Father for retirement more than once. The man is a scholar and a musician and had dedicated his life to serving his Church. I don't think any faithful bishops want the job of pope. I hope he is able to end his life quietly and with dignity and perhaps have enough mental faculties to have a bit of the retirement he has so long wanted. It's not exactly a low-stress job, and he did express some reluctance in taking it, but felt that he owed it to John Paul II and to the Church to finish what was started, tie up loose ends, but he really wanted to go back to Bavaria and end his days quietly with his books, and had expressed that sentiment 10+ years back. Yes. I heard his doctor forbid travel; a big deal for the pope. Up until John Paul II, it was more the tradition for people to go to the pope than for the pope to go to the people, so while I believe that papal travel is a positive innovation, it's not essential. I am hoping for/looking forward to youthful energy like what John Paul II brought, but we shall see how the Spirit moves the electors.

Liz CA Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I am not catholic so I am not up on all the rules, but I didn't know a pope could resign. I thought it was a "til death" kind of job. I am very surprised. Yes, this is new to me too. I don't think in all my years I have ever heard of a pope resign. There has been some talk that he wants to live at his home in Bavaria for the time he has left. Living in Rome, fulfilling the countless duties as pope at the age of 85 would seem miraculous if he was any other man than the pope. Perhaps he is just the first one to acknowledge his limits.

TammyS Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 One big reason that this is so unusual is because our times are unusual. Historically, people did not live long in highly infirm conditions the way that they can now. Previously, an 85 year old man in poor health could be expected to die within months or a year. Now, he could go on for a loooooooong time without dying. And if the problem is something like Alzhiemer's.....that can go on for a couple of decades if the body is in otherwise reasonable condition. Bad for everyone. JP2 was sick for a long time, but his worst was really only at the end and he never was very off mentally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiramisu Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I only attended a few OD "events" many years ago. Since then, I have known others who are not OD, but attend their meetings with some regularity. They are all normal moms. My contact with actual OD members has been limited but I have found them orthodox in their faith. I have not found a cult like mentality at all. Rather I have been impressed with their openness, their level of education, their involvement in the world--and that they seek to serve God in all that they do, in even the little things of life. I do know a former OD member who left after many, many years. She does not criticize the organization at all, even though she came to realize it wasn't a good match for her. The founder of OD, Jose Maria Escriva, was canonized in 2002. I'm sure OD is much like the world and the Church in general, made up of imperfect people, to varying degrees.
