WTF was that all about? why did he resign? was it purely voluntary? just a coincidence that his successor turned out to be a shitlib SJW? can a pope be impeached so as to speak?

there is a very powerful "gay mafia" in the vatican, and apparently he ran afoul of it and was marginalized to the point where he got mad and ragequit.

Sorry man but I really don't have much to say. He quit and they elected a new pope.

I have a rather fatalist view about the Vatican that makes me not inclined to follow the inner workings. If the Pope goes and promulgates some heretical teaching I'd just leave the church.

similar to the idea of an american impeachment de facto rather than de jure, i suspect. i don't know anything though. benedict might've just gotten bored.

It was a fulfillment of Catholic prophecy and the words of sacred Scripture. B16 was the last validly ordained priest to claim the chair of St. Peter and the last to claim it as a throne, ie he was a priest-king like the previous antipope and popes. On the night of his resignation, the cupola of the basilica was struck by lightning twice. This signified the end of the Lateran Treaty of 1929 between Italy and the Vatican (the resignation was announced on February 11, the anniversary of the treaty signing). The Vatican is no longer a sacerdotal monarchy because Francis is not a validly ordained priest and refuses any of the titles and honors of a monarch.
