I understand about the health issues and I hope we have many more years with him around. <br /><br />I was just in shock all day. This is such a huge thing and the timing right before Lent. Everyone at work was just going about their day (most aren't Catholics) and I'm thinking "People, this is HUGE!" <br /><br />God Bless Pope Benedict. <br /><br />As for Scott Hahn's comment- If I revisit my idea of giving up soda pop for Lent (I'm addicted to that stuff so I thought I wouldn't last very long) do you think I can NOT give up Pope Benedict? Sorry, silly joke. I know we can't bargain like that but I am really going to miss him.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-69103891407129590522013-02-11T17:53:52.772-07:002013-02-11T17:53:52.772-07:00I mean, 'have I ' ... must wear specs n...I mean, 'have I ' ... must wear specs next time .... :)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052655456416860272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-4111879828217748492013-02-11T17:53:09.090-07:002013-02-11T17:53:09.090-07:00A wonderfully solid theologian and leader.

When the pope declares doctrinal teachings on faith and morals, those are considered infallible and unchanging. This is why it is so ridiculous that the media is asking the question of whether or a not a more "progressive" pope will come in and make it ok for Catholics to use birth control, etc. <br /><br />Amen, Leila, God bless Pope Benedict!

Stay tuned!<br /><br />And citizensunited, once the pope officially resigns, he is no longer head of the Church, and his charism of infallibility is not in effect anymore. The official pope, and only the official pope (i.e., the actual Bishop of Rome), is protected from teaching error from his office.Leila@LittleCatholicBubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357573787143230160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-28433691302462338892013-02-11T08:19:06.310-07:002013-02-11T08:19:06.310-07:00Unbelievable!

My husband used to work for him in LaCrosse, so I've already told him (my husband) that we should plan to go if Burke is elected. It's about the only thing that would get me to go through airport security on my own will.

And what happens if the new Pope and Benedict disagree on church doctrine does the new Pope claim infallibility and tell people to ignore Benedict since he is no longer fallible? Or, in a very confusing scenario if the living but retired Pope is still infallible and he disagrees with the new Pope, who the heck do we listen too?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-20094391615862299292013-02-11T07:33:42.264-07:002013-02-11T07:33:42.264-07:00I feel so sad, but what respect I have for him!
