The 'DUBIA.'

 1. The 'dubia.'
      The news on the 'dubia' is the center of Catholic  news today. With it falls the Papacy and the entire image of the Catholic Church. But not the Catholic Church. Yet Catholics, specially bishops around the world, are not minding it. The 'dubia' could mean the salvation or damnation of many souls.

2. What is the 'dubia?'
     The 'dubia' is a note containing a canonical fraternal correction to a man sitting in the seat of St. Peter. It is a notice to him that he has made a statement that most Catholics think is contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church. The papal statement, therefore, is  perceived as a heresy showing that the man seated in the seat of Peter is not a Catholic and, therefore, disqualifies him from the Papacy. The 'dubia' is requesting for a clarification so the Church may judge if it is according to Catholic doctrine or not. For such a person to insist on his error, if there is,  will make him an anti-pope. And to follow him and even render him any recognition makes others an accomplice to his heresy.

3. Why is the 'dubia' concentrating on only one error?
     St. James had written, disobedience to one command of Christ is disobedience to all the commands of Christ. And St. Augustine added, error in one doctrine is error in all doctrine. 
     It is the very essence of the theological virtue of Faith that it gives a soul perfect knowledge of the teachings of Christ.  Based on the teaching on the 'unity of doctrine,' which states that if a soul has a perfect knowledge of one truth, he will certainly have perfect knowledge of all truths because all truths are interconnected with each other. An error in one truth will affect the rest of the truths.
      This theological principle is one of the proofs that most Catholics do not really have the Catholic Faith because they do not know many truths. And ignorance of one truth is ignorance of all truths. 

4. The 'dubia' centres on one truth. 
      In the 'dubia' the authors were questioning Pope Francis on only one truth. If he is wrong in this one truth, he will be wrong on all the rest of the truths he is teaching. 
      It, also, works the other way around. Because Pope Francis is committing many errors, like hell is empty, pagans go to heaven, repentance is not needed, ....etc. then his one teaching in 'Amores laetitia' on the morality of the remarried receiving Holy Communion will certainly be wrong. 

5. The authors of the 'dubia.'
     Cardinals are the ones who elect the Pope. Only the cardinals can nullify the election of a Pope or depose a Pope.  The author of the 'dubia' are cardinals. Bishops and priests and laymen had also signed the 'dubia' to show that the question involved is truly a Catholic issue and not a mere opinion or personal issue of one person.

6. The 'dubia' deals with a principle of Faith.
     The 'dubia' deals with Catholic morals and/or dogmas. The question is directed to all Catholics, from Pope to layman. So it must be answered by all. It is as basic as the question, 'is there a Catholic God?' All Catholics must answer that question. Yes or no. And depending on one's answer one is a Catholic or not. Pope Francis had answered that there is no Catholic God which gives us a hint that his teachings in 'amores laetitia' will certainly be wrong. 
     The 'dubia' is asking Pope Francis a question written in his Apostolic exhortation; 'can Catholics who had been separated from their spouse, and have remarried while the spouse is still living, received worthily Holy Communion? What is the Catholic teaching? The 'dubia' has been given more than 500 days ago and he has not given an answer. If Pope Francis is a Catholic he should know the answer and should have given his answer immediately.
     I asked the same question to three teen agers and they answered the same question within two minutes. How come Pope Francis has not answered it after more than 500 days? Why hasn't the Jesuit order to whom Pope Francis belong, who have many theologians, many colleges, many periodicals and many priests have not answered it for his sake all this time, while teen agers can answer it in two minutes?
     As long as Pope Francis has not answered the canonical clarification officially presented to him by the 'dubia' he cannot be considered as the valid Pope. Because if his answer is that the statement in 'amores laetitia' is a Catholic doctrine, the entire Scriptures and the Fathers of the Church says that he is wrong; his statement in his 'amores laetitia' is not Catholic doctrine. 
     For Pope Francis to hold a teaching contrary to Catholic doctrine disqualifies him from the Papal office. He should resign. If he insists on staying in the papal throne he would, in effect, be an anti-pope.

7. Did Pope Francis answer the 'dubia?'
     Officially, no. Why hasn't he answered it? Because he knows that his answer, that it is Catholic doctrine, is wrong. But he answered it unofficially by surreptitiously including the document into the 'Acta apostolici Sedis' or the AAS. The AAS is a book that contains all the official teachings of the Catholic Church. By surreptitiously including 'amores laetitia' into the AAS he had deceitfully included his error as part of the doctrine of Catholic 
Church. That does not make his error a doctrine of the Catholic Church. It is still an error. It is still a heresy which makes him now a heretic, disqualified from the Papal office and, therefore, makes him an anti-pope. Nobody made him like that but he himself. 

8. Guilty as accomplishes.
     Remarried Catholics who has no annulment or are not living as brothers and sisters cannot receive Holy Communion worthily; this is the moral and dogmatic teaching of the Catholic church. In his 'amores laetitia' Pope Francis went against this Catholic teaching. But since this is Catholic doctrine, every bishop, priest or layman who agrees with Pope Francis is equally guilty of sin against Faith called heresy. No one can be indifferent to this statement. It is an article of Faith; all must take side, for or against it.
     Pope Francis has not officially answered the 'dubia.' So he cannot be judged. But many bishops, priest and laymen had embraced the heretical interpretation of 'amores laetitia.' Thus have become heretics even ahead of Pope Francis, its author. 
     The Catholic  Bishop's conference of the Philippines in their recent Cebu meeting had voted secretly and the majority approved the suspected heresy in 'amores laetitia.' Many bishops from the US, Europe and South America had already approved the heretical statement and had implemented it in their dioceses, like in Germany. These bishops are leading their dioceses into heresy thus becoming Protestants. 
     Everyone must check on the Catholicity of their bishops  and priests because many bishops, like Pope Francis, finds it impossible to prove that they are Catholics, though there are many ways written in Scriptures and discussed by the Fathers and Doctors of the Church on how to prove oneself to be truly Catholic. 
     Remember that the status of the 'dubia' is this; that the legitimacy of the Papacy of Pope Francis is on hold until he answers the 'dubia.' Sadly, however, he had already informally answered the 'dubia,' during the Bishop's Synod of 2015 and recently by including the document in the AAS. We have a Catholic Church where the Pope and many of the bishops supporting his stand cannot prove that they are  Catholics. 
     By supporting Pope Francis' stand even before he responds make these bishops go against Catholic teaching.  We have a catholic church that has turned Protestant, just like in Europe during the time of Martin Luther. Bishops, priest and laymen became Protestants without knowing it. It is happening again today, as prophesied by Christ during this Lenten Season. Lent is happening again and nobody knows it.  All the priest of that era, the Pharisees, Scribes and the high priest were all against Christ. Disobedience to one command of Christ (like Thou shall not commit adultery) is disobedience to all the commands of God. Disbelief in one dogma is disbelief in all the dogmas. The Catholic Church has not only become Protestant. It has become pagan by the  very acts of our own bishops and Pope.

An Unfaithful Hierarchy - 2nd week of Lent.

 1. An unfaithful hierarchy.
     How can we analyse the hierarchy in the world today? It is impossible to study the state of the hierarchy in the world today using human instruments, like psychology and sociology. The research would be too extensive and conclusions will be impossible. How do we study states of affairs in the Catholic Church? By studying prophecies. In other words, what will happen in the future, i.e. today, had been written down already in the prophecies in Scriptures. Knowledge of what will happen today and tomorrow had been given by the good God to the Church so His Church can make preparations. There is much of what is happening today that is found in Scriptures specially during the season of Lent. And we can only understand what is happening today by understanding the lesson of the Liturgy of Lent.

2. The Liturgy of Lent gives an understanding of what is happening today in the whole world. And like all things that happen in the world, what is happening can only be understood in the context of the Catholic Church as the center. It has been like this since the beginning of history. The history of man can only be understood as surrounding the Church as its center. Without the Catholic Church as a center, the history of man cannot be understood and explained. The history of Europe is easier to understand because it has the Catholic Church as its center. While oriental history is impossible to understand because it does not have the Catholic Church as its center; it began to make a little sense when Catholicism entered the Orient. 

3. The Liturgy of Lent describes many things that should give man understanding of what is happening today but let us only take one topic; i.e. the state of the hierarchy. Of course, we are not saying that this is the state of all the members of the hierarchy. Like Scriptures, when it states 'the hierarchy' it usually refers to majority and not exactly to all and every member of the hierarchy. 

4. The state of the hierarchy always reflect the state of the Catholic Church. During the first and second week of Lent, Christ had been describing the hopelessness of the hierarchy during His time. They were proud, hard-headed, impossible to teach and Christ had decided to abandon this hierarchy and give the Church to another who would tend to the vineyard. 
     It is the hierarchy who teaches and forms the Catholic Church. If the hierarchy is unfaithful, the Church will be unfaithful. When this happens, Christ tend to abandon that Church and transfers His Church to another people who will believe. This is very clear in the parables in Scriptures. So what is the state of the hierarchy in the US, in the Philippines, in South America, in Europe, etc.

5. Starting in Paradise.
    Starting in Paradise, the events in Genesis tells us that the Hierarchy, through the history of man, will be unfaithful to God as Adam and Eve were unfaithful. This is further shown in the story of Joseph and his many coloured coat. Joseph was the type of the Church. His own brothers planned to kill him; a type that the killers of the Catholic Church will be its own Catholic members. This is clearer on Good Friday when the Pharisees, Scribes, High priest and Judas would betray and deliver Christ to the Gentiles for crucifixion; a type that today, it is the Pope, the cardinals, bishops and priest who would deliver the Church to the pagans for crucifixion. And led by the high  priest with the help of Judas, we have the type of someone in the  papal throne who will betray the Catholic Church. He is portrayed in the Apocalypse as the Second Beast and identical to the anti-Christ. Christ was crucified by the very people he came to save. The Catholic Church will be crucified by the Catholics she came to save. The persecutors will be led by the hierarchy because they alone have the dictatorial power to do so. 

6. The exceptions
    Of course, not all members of the hierarchy will be unfaithful. Holy Week showed us the fidelity of the 11 apostles, the holy women, Nicodemus, and Longinus. So there were a handful of believers during Good Friday. Very few, as Pope Benedict XVI liked to  emphasise. There are too many Catholics today; the number does not fit the prophecy. But all signs show that most Catholic, especially among the hierarchy are not Catholics at all. 

7. Checking up on the Hierarchy. 
    The Pope and the bishops should present their credentials to their constituents proving that they are the duly constituted spiritual head of the parish, the Dioceses and the Church. The credentials are the four visible signs of the true Church as enumerated in the Nicene Creed; one, holy, Catholic and apostolic. These signs prove that they are Catholics but not necessarily the duly appointed Pope or bishop of the Diocese. But if they can prove that they are Catholics, that is enough for all to believe that they are the duly elected Pope and the duly appointed bishop of the Diocese. True Catholics do not lie. So a true Catholic who says he is Pope is most probably the Pope. 

8. We do not usually check for Catholicity.  
     In our present situation Popes never prove that they are Catholics. Neither do cardinals, bishops and priests. And the constituents never demand from their Pope, bishops and priest proofs that they are Catholics. Everybody takes it for granted that everyone is a Catholic. This is very bad practice because Christ, Himself, warned us 'to judge all things if they are of God,' contrary to what Pope Francis enjoined.  When Popes and bishops commit mistakes just like Pope Francis, then we have to check if he is a Catholic. It is hard to check if he is the true Pope. But if he is a Catholic, the probability is great that he is also the true Pope.  We should, also, check the rest of the hierarchy because they follow the Pope.  

9. The 'dubia.'
     Pope Francis seems to be teaching  lots of errors. His first published address 'Charity without dogma' was totally against the entire teaching of the Catholic Church. 
     St. James quoted by St. Augustine wrote; 'go against one teaching an you go against all the teachings of Christ.' After his first grievous error, it was expected that all the next teachings of Pope Francis will be erroneous. And he did not disappoint us. 
      With so many errors that go against the teachings of the Catholic, it became necessary to check if he is a Catholic. For this the cardinals who have noticed his errors issued a 'dubium.'

10 A fraternal correction.
     The 'dubium' is the highest form of Charity; a form of fraternal correction made by cardinals to an erring Pope. It is a very polite request to clarify a teaching that is suspected of going against the teaching of the Catholic Church. The Pope must clarify his words and prove that his statement is according to Catholic teaching. If he is not able to clarify his teaching and it appears that his teaching is against the official teachings of the Catholic Church, then he is declared to be in error. And, therefore, he cannot remain as the Pope. He must resign if he insists to remain in  his error. 
     The 'dubium' is an effort to find out if the Pope is Catholic. Because the 'dubium' requires a statement of Faith, this test must be applied to all, cardinals, bishops and priests and laymen. They must answer the 'dubium.' Because, they might be like Pope Francis whose Catholicity is, now, under suspicion. Imagine believing that you are a Catholic when in fact you are following a Protestant leader. 
      The 'dubium' can easily be answered. Reading it to children, they answered it immediately. How come the Pope has not answered it, more than 500 days since he received it. Because he knows his answer is against Catholic teaching. He is trying to postpone the coming consequence.  
      In effect, however, he is already in the state of heresy, he is not a Catholic and, therefore, cannot be Pope. Unless he answers the 'dubium' correctly, it would be a big mistake for anyone to consider him as Pope.

The SCRIBES and the PHARISEES -TUESDAY on the 2nd Week of Lent

 1. The prophetic image of Lent.
     The central image of Lent is Good Friday. It is when Christ as the image of the Catholic Church was treated very badly; first, by the Gentile world represented by Herod and Pontius Pilate, secondly, by the Jewish priesthood represented by the Pharisees and the Scribes, and by the Church, herself, represented by the Jewish people. A very small community remained faithful, represented by the apostles, Mary and some ladies and Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. 
     Let us concentrate on the image of the Scribes and the Pharisees who represents the New Testament priesthood. Good Friday prophesies that today, almost the entire Catholic priesthood will not only be unfaithful to Christ; they will crucify Him. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus represents the very small number of priests who will be faithful to Christ.

2.  Thus the Gospel complains about the priesthood. St. Thomas of Aquinas wrote that when priest go wrong, it is almost impossible to correct them. The lay people is easier to correct. Even St. Benedict wrote that monks should not desire to be priest and most Benedictine monks in the early times were mere laymen. 

3. Description of the Pharisees.
     The Gospel described them as wearing large tassels and vestments wherein they show off their religiousness. Bible texts were written around them. Their showing off of their prayer, sounding trumpets in the market place, their showing off of their fasting by wearing grouchy faces. And the showing off of their good works showed them as infertile soil for the Word of God. Due to their careless way of praying, fasting and the performance of good works their actions were not pleasing to God. They were compared to wood with ingrain worms, clothing with moth.

4. Good with evil interred into their bones.
    Man is good but has the worm of original sin. Prayer is good but has the destruction of showing off, Fasting is good but may have the worm of ostentation, Good works is good but may be infected with showing off. Thus the religious life of the Pharisees and Scribe had the worm of corruption within them without knowing it. It will end in unbelief in Christ and his eventual crucifixion in Jerusalem.

5. The prophesy fulfilled.
     The prophetic events of Good Friday had been fulfilled today when the hierarchy, from the priests to the bishops, cardinals up to Pope Francis is unfaithful to Christ. The 'dubia' presented to Pope Francis should be presented to all priests and bishops. It is a statement wherein the Church is doubting if they are Catholics thus every priest, bishop and cardinal including the Pope must prove they are Catholics by checking on their Catholic dogmas and morals. 
      Pope Francis is being asked what he believed as portrayed in 'Amores Laetitia.' Is the statement; souls separated from their partner and living with another and, therefore, is in the state of mortal sin.......can they receive Holy Communion. If his answer is 'yes' is this the teaching of the Catholic Church? The answer of Pope Francis as written in 'amores laetitia' is 'yes,' a person separated from his conjugal partner and remarried to another and, therefore, in the state of mortal sin, may receive Holy Communion.
    Proof that this is the teachings of Pope Francis, this practice is already being implemented in many dioceses by bishop's conference. And he had instructed this error to be included in the AAS, that contains all the official teaching of the Catholic Church. In so doing, he had declared his error to be part of the official teaching of the Catholic Church.

6. Pope Francis
     Pope Francis' inclusion of this teaching from 'Amores laetitia' where it states that those living in adultery and, therefore, in mortal sin, can receive Holy Communion .........is not a Catholic doctrine. He, therefore, falls into error, thus he ceases to be a Catholic and as a result he is disqualified from being the Pope. 

7. On Good Friday
     The Romans were against Christ, But the high priests, Scribes and the Pharisees were the ones who planned the death of Christ. Today, it will Pope Francis, his FrancisBishops and Francispriests who will destroy those who are in the fringes of the Catholic Church and who will try to destroy the Catholic Church. He can destroy those in the fringes. He will not be able to destroy the true Church because the Faithless will not be able to find it. 

The SCRIBES and the PHARISEES -TUESDAY on the 2nd Week of Lent

 1. The prophetic image of Lent.
     The central image of Lent is Good Friday. It is when Christ as the image of the Catholic Church was treated very badly; first, by the Gentile world represented by Herod and Pontius Pilate, secondly, by the Jewish priesthood represented by the Pharisees and the Scribes, and by the Church, herself, represented by the Jewish people. A very small community remained faithful, represented by the apostles, Mary and some ladies and Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. 
     Let us concentrate on the image of the Scribes and the Pharisees who represents the New Testament priesthood. Good Friday prophesies that today, almost the entire Catholic priesthood will not only be unfaithful to Christ; they will crucify Him. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus represents the very small number of priests who will be faithful to Christ.

2.  Thus the Gospel complains about the priesthood. St. Thomas of Aquinas wrote that when priest go wrong, it is almost impossible to correct them. The lay people is easier to correct. Even St. Benedict wrote that monks should not desire to be priest and most Benedictine monks in the early times were mere laymen. 

3. Description of the Pharisees.
     The Gospel described them as wearing large tassels and vestments wherein they show off their religiousness. Bible texts were written around them. Their showing off of their prayer, sounding trumpets in the market place, their showing off of their fasting by wearing grouchy faces. And the showing off of their good works showed them as infertile soil for the Word of God. Due to their careless way of praying, fasting and the performance of good works their actions were not pleasing to God. They were compared to wood with ingrain worms, clothing with moth.

4. Good with evil interred into their bones.
    Man is good but has the worm of original sin. Prayer is good but has the destruction of showing off, Fasting is good but may have the worm of ostentation, Good works is good but may be infected with showing off. Thus the religious life of the Pharisees and Scribe had the worm of corruption within them without knowing it. It will end in unbelief in Christ and his eventual crucifixion in Jerusalem.

5. The prophesy fulfilled.
     The prophetic events of Good Friday had been fulfilled today when the hierarchy, from the priests to the bishops, cardinals up to Pope Francis is unfaithful to Christ.

POPE BENEDICT XVI once again.

 1. Pope Benedict XVI once again.
     Topics on Pope Benedict will never end, most especially on whether he really resigned or not. 
     Let us briefly discuss how Pope Benedict acts to understand how he acted on the day of his supposed resignation. 
     Benedict is the model of a man of Faith. His actions are mature human acts enlightened by grace. His actions come from a full mature act of his intellect devoid of error and fortified with wisdom and enlightened by grace. In short, his reasons are always on the supernatural level and not in the level of mere philosophy or metaphysics. He always makes sense even in the natural level; but more so in the spiritual level. That is why it is a joy reading his works or listening to him. And that is why few can understand him. 

2. Pope Benedict's reasoning.
    Morality is based on the reason why a person acts. It is a product of the intellect and not of the feelings. To understand Pope Benedict we must know the reasons why he acted thus. The flimsiest reason Pope Benedict had ever  given in his life is the reason why he seemingly resigned. It was so flimsy that most Catholics did not believe him. thus the reason for the continuous debate on his resignation.
     The reason he gave was so flimsy but it was reasonable, it was sensible, it was sound, it was convincing......but it was unbelievable. He said; 'due to incoming weakness of health.'

3. It is unCatholic for anyone to retire.
    Can you retire at 75 from loving God and neighbor? Can you retire at 80 from being patient and kind? Can you retire from repenting for your past sins at 85? Can you retire from praying and saving souls at 90? No! All of these should be done up to the last second of one's life. There is no retirement from putting into practice the teachings of the Catholic Church. So Pope Benedict gave a very reasonable reason for retirement; but that reason is totally unacceptable in the Catholic Church. Benedict will not resign for any of the above reasons. 
     The reason Pope Benedict gave goes against Catholic doctrines. It goes against theology  and even against philosophy. Pope Benedict is not acting like Pope Benedict who is usually sharp, reasonable, philosophically and theologically sound. He must be hidding something as Christ used to keep certain truths from the multitude especially from the devil,  but revealing the other truths to His disciples. 
     Like Christ, all men must hide some of their good deeds to prevent the devil from thwarting those deeds. To hide his real motive for resigning he announced his resignation in Latin, that language that fills the devil with fear. We would like to find out this hidden theological intention that prompted him to pretend to resign and why he pretended. 

4. Christ kept His intentions from the devil.
     We must always keep our good intentions unknown to the devil. Otherwise he will know how to thwart our good intentions. We must know how to fool the devil as Christ did. Christ saw to it that the devil will not know that He was the Messiah until the last moment when it was too late for the devil to thwart Christ's plan to redeem the world. 
     Christ kept the knowledge of Him being the Messiah from the devil. Because if the devil knew He was the Messiah, he would have prevented Him from being crucified and thus redeem the world. That is the devil's intention in everything he does; to prevent souls from being saved. 
     So why did Pope Benedict pretend to resign. To fool the devil into believing he is still Pope; this way he can save more souls.  

5. What Pope Benedict knows. 
    Benedict knows many things. But let us concentrate on the things  he knew that surrounded his decision to seemingly step down from the Papacy, a pretention in order to fool the devil into believing that he was no longer Pope, as Christ pretended to fool the devil into no knowing that He was the Christ (Note how Christ always silenced the devil every time would declare that He was the Son of God?). 
     
6. The  first broad picture surrounding Benedict's seeming resignation is Good Friday in Lent. 
     Here Christ fooled the devil. Christ did not want the devil to know that He was the Saviour. If the devil knew it,  he would prevent the Romans and the Jews from killing Christ; thus preventing the redemption of  the human race. Fooled by Christ, the devil had the Romans and Jews kill Christ. Thus unwittingly cooperating in the redemption of the world. 
     Like all good Catholics, Benedict knew that Good Friday and Lent has to be fulfilled all the time in the history of men; but there will be one final fulfilment of this prophetic event one day. Benedict wanted to know if that day is today. 
     Since both the Fathers of the Church and many saints are conscious and wrote about this day, Benedict studied these writings. Having read St. Augustine, St. Bonaventure and St. Hildegard, a Benedictine mystic whom he raised as doctor of the Church, Benedict discovered that this final fulfilment of Good Friday could happen today during his papacy. So he checked these writings; and he double checked and was convinced it is today. 
     If Benedict wanted to keep this secret from the devil why are we revealing it now? Because the prophetic Good Friday is already being fulfilled and there is no way anyone can stop it, not even the devil. Good Friday is fulfilled today with the whole world as its stage. 
     In this stage we have the Romans representing  all pagan secular powers going against Christ. We have the Gentiles represented by some Roman soldiers siding with Christ, 'truly this is the Son of God.' All the Pharisee and Scribes, represent most of the Cardinals, bishops and priests going against the teachings of Christ. 

      Then there is a very small groups made up of the apostles, Mary and the ladies with Joseph and Nicodemus making up a very small Catholic Church, all of them were hiding. 

 6. The picture of Judas.     
      Then there is a very specific picture upon which Benedict based his pretended resignation. The image of  Judas, a Bishop appointed by Christ, Himself, who would betray Him and will facilitate His crucifixion. Take notice of this last point. A man to be totally possessed by Satan who will be used in an attempt to destroy the Catholic Church. Prophecies show that he will a Pope and will live at this time in man's history. 
     Benedict studied when this would occur. About this time. He would not want to be that person. He knew the prophecy was not referring to him. It was referring to someone else. He did not know who was this. But he would be existing about the same time with him. He wanted to know who this person would be. 
      
7. The man of evil. 
    Good Friday prophesied a bishop upon whom Satan will possess for the destruction of the nascent Catholic Church. At that time, everything would seem to be under the control of Satan. Evil will reign. There will be total darkness. There will be not a single ray of light. Satan will seem to be victorious; the Church of Christ seems to be in total defeat. Everything will be centered on Judas. 
     This bishop will be the object of total diabolical possession in an attempt to destroy the Church. It is destruction of the Church from within, through possession. Benedict would not want to be the object of this possession. He wants to know who this person is. So he will have to do something to be able to see how this will be fulfilled. 
     Since he is not the Pope referred to, it would be another person..... he will have to move over to give place to this object of this diabolical possession personified by Judas. 

8. Why did Benedict pretend to resign.
     For the image of the one possessed by the devil to come to the fore, Benedict had to pretend to resign for such a person to be able to enter into the picture.  So Benedict have a dilemma. He knows he is not the one. It will be another. So he,  as Pope and the other must exist at the same time just as St. Peter and Judas existed together.  Peter would see how the Church would go with Judas destroying it and, therefore, will be able to aid the Church while Judas was being possessed by Satan. Peter and Judas were both bishops and most people will find it difficult to distinguish between the two.  Today, two will be Popes and it is be difficult to distinguish between the two. But those with Faith will be able to distinguish one from the other. 
     Since it will be difficult to distinguish between the two Popes, Benedict seemingly resigned. And suddenly the other pope personified by Judas came clearly to the fore. It has become slightly easier to distinguish between the two. So it will be easier for most of those weak in Faith to distinguish between Peter and Judas, Benedict seemingly stepped down clearing the picture for all to see, the fulfilment of Judas today. 

9. One of the first bishops personally chosen by Christ would be the traitor. In prophecy, he will be a future Pope who will be possessed by the devil as Judas was. The devil will pour all his evil on him in an attempt to destroy the Church. Benedict knew the devil would concentrate all evil in this Pope to destroy the Church. He would not want to be this Pope. He will fool the devil into entering into another whom the devil will mistake to be the Pope while he safely navigate the church into its heavenly harbour.
     But Benedict will not move unless he consults Scriptures, the Fathers of the Church and the writings of the saints. His readings did not help him find the answer on what he must do. Instead he prayed. The suspicion is strong that he had a private revelation to faint resignation. His whole demeanour which shows great certainty is making his move shows he received a revelation. The revelation plus the above given facts is what make him seemingly resign. From the above given facts, he did not resign but merely move aside to help fulfil the prophecies.
