Associated Press Reports Pope is considering retirement -

Only speculation but often (not always of course) when something like this is whispered to a reporter there is truth behind it.

ROME (AP) — Pope Francis added fuel to rumors about the future of his pontificate by announcing he would visit the central Italian city of L’Aquila in August for a feast initiated by Pope Celestine V, one of the few pontiffs who resigned before Pope Benedict XVI stepped down in 2013.
Italian and Catholic media have been rife with unsourced speculation that the 85-year-old Francis might be planning to follow in Benedict’s footsteps, given his increased mobility problems that have forced him to use a wheelchair for the last month.
Those rumors gained steam last week when Francis announced a consistory to create 21 new cardinals scheduled for Aug. 27. Sixteen of those cardinals are under age 80 and eligible to vote in a conclave to elect Francis’ successor.
Once they are added to the ranks of princes of the church, Francis will have stacked the College of Cardinals with 83 of the 132 voting-age cardinals. While there is no guarantee how the cardinals might vote, the chances that they will tap a successor who shares Francis’ pastoral priorities become ever greater.

There may not be a replacement if Malachi's prophesy continues to hold true.

The only Malachi I respect had a surname of Martin.

It will then be time for the flock to split. This totalitarian shite annoys the shite out of me. And in a church no less.

Prepping his campaign for, "The Anti-Christ you've-been-waiting-for"?
Most In-Your-Face subversive, wicked Commie-Satanist Pope ever (not even hyperole).

Where do we stand with the "Last Pope" before the end of the world stuff? I thought this guy or the next might be the last per that line of prophetic reasoning. If that is not an oxymoron.

So incoming black, transgender, atheist pope who wears a rainbow dress good times, looking forward to the Netflix show on its daily routine

It seems that businesses, and the Catholic Church is a business have aligned themselves with the globalist progressive movement. Is that because their views have changed, or because they fear being cancelled or being left out of the New World Order?

If he's retiring, the College of Cardinals need to elect Cardinal Sarah to the papacy. He is a true conservative who can stop the Jesuit plague that is currently infecting the Curia.

African pope seems like a lock at this point. If he is gay, transgenered, or communist, he will be a slam dunk!

Which would be a home run for the Church because the African church seems to have their shite together. They are far more orthodox and adhere strictly to doctrine. Compare that to the liberal streak the German and American church continue to stain the Vatican with.

Yep, the German "church" needs to be admonished. Not a fan of this pontif, but pray for his well being.

So for hundreds of years Pope's served until they died now we have 2 back to back quitters.
