Pope Resigns: The Head Of The Catholic Church To Step Down On February 28

resigning as Pope doesnt mean he resigned as christian. What matters most is that African leaders should learn a big leason that 'there is no permanet postion here on earth'.

What ever any body is saying the outging pope and the universal church has once again demonstrated good and quality leadership to the whole world. Nigerian leaders should learn from this.

The Pope does not believe that God will help him through with his ill health and old age. The Pope has given up on God. Makes me wonder what God the Catholics believe in that even the Pope has doubts about Him. And they say the Pope is infallible! Catholicism sounds like Godlessness.

Pontiff has already told the world in his book that he disagree with so many things that Christians are believing in. Particularly all date related issues. e.g. Christmas, birth and death of Jesus, and possibly other things that are know to the top ones and insiders.
Consequently, as a faithful and God fearing Christian, he has to quit.

What concern a HAUSA MAN with pope.illiterate mumu if u have nothing shut up.

If na you as a 9ja manwe don taste power will let go like that ehn baba Iyabo sef wan wayo 9ja people for his 3rd term agenda abi you think say IBB happy to resign,if no be death Abacha don de mark time to pull khakhi and wear babariga,Buhari sef still de fight IBB for sending him packing from Dodan barracks.POWER SWEET OOOH

Cardinal Arinze: The African who could be Pope
The legend of Cardinal Francis Arinze,a contender to become the first pope from Africa in over 1,500 years.
Though there are several highly regarded African prelates,
the only one with the experience considered necessary for the job is Cardinal Arinze.
"Some people say, if not for his color, (Arinze) is surely the most qualified,"
"If we had an African pope it would show that humanity is a universal thing."

May God forgive your ignorance. The Catholic Church never claimed to be without blemish as they are also human. The fact that some reverend fathers did something the church condemned is not a reason to label reverend fathers as child molesters and the universal church as devils. It will not be good to label the Pentecostal churches as 419s simply because most of them are prosperity preachers who hoodwink the public out of their hard earned money to build personal empires in the name of serving the Lord. The Pope does not own any part of the church properties. All Muslims cannot be called terrorists because some Muslims are nothing but death merchants as their religion encourages them not to love but hate. In fact the world is in its present state of fear and uncertainly because of Muslims and their belief. So, grow up and know that when you point a finger at someone, the other 4 are pointing at you. The Pope gave reasons why he decided to resign and the reasons are noble.

Militant Prez Gudluk u have promised Obasanjo and PDP Govs in 2011 that u wld Serve for only Four years. Pls be a gentleman and statesman and Organise free and fair election and Go in Peace not in pieces. Ignore Miliant papa Clark and co

Child Abuser wants to dodge justice. But the Pope can never run away from the judgement of God.

End time prophecy is sheer balderdash. The Cannon Law allows a reigning Pope to resign. The world didn't come to an end and heavens did not fall the previous times that Popes had resigned - and this has been up to 4 times. The reasons for the resignation are manifsetsly plausible. Let the Great Papa go and rest...and the spirit continues to blow where it wills.

I doubt the gimmick (resignation). Inquire more. Is the Pope not a Boko Haram member? Why coming up with such?
historic manouvre?

1.He is an insider. The man know things many of you don't known. How many of our so called knight are members of secret cult. This whole catholic thing is a charade. You can't fool people for too long.

2.To me I think for pope to resign is not ordinary.only God in heaven knows what is happening in the secret.may God help the world.

3.think there is something more to this. The cristian world should investigate the real motives. At least Pope John Paul II was much more sick like than Pope Benedict, yet he ruled the church till his death. Am told that you say Pope is the vicar of Christ on earth, but Christ did not resign for any reason during his ministry.

4.Reverend mathew hassan kukah are you warming up 2 bcom d next paparoma?If you have not pls start parking out of sokoto and head to vartican city coz obama and jona have nominated you.
CONGRA................

if the pope is a nigerian his vatican subordinates will deny his resignation, they will assure all that the old man is as strong as an ox, they will pounce on any body that said otherwise and call them names, they will keep the pope incommunicado and try to bribe the conclave to hold on electing a new pope or rig the election. god deliver us frm the wicked

for the muslim who wrote the comment titled " I Cherish The Pope,God bless you sir/ma.Which every muslim will be like you and christians too rather than see religion as a barrier,it should be a brigde.God bless the Pope for sincerity of sercive

A great lesson to Nigerian leaders in faith and politics. If he were to be a Nigerian, he and his cronies by now would have perfected a plan to "make a corpse walk" for selfish reasons at the detriment of the people to pledge to serve. The Yaradua-Turai case readily comes to mind here.

papal even christ him self wont be angry with you because you have choosen the right path to follow i guess this is what we need in this country for our leader to admitt the real fact ............... Papal you will always be rememderd in our prayers.....may the lord our God be with you now nd forever Amen..............

Reverend mathew hassan kukah are you warming up 2 bcom d next paparoma?If you have not pls start parking out of sokoto and head to vartican city coz obama and jona have nominated you.

If the Pope was a Hausa man he would never resign. Even if he loses one arm and one leg to polio he would still hang on to power. Musa was almost ruling us from the grave. Babangida temporarily stepped aside and is still waiting to come back. Buhari unleashed murderers and mayhem when he lost power to our brother Jonathan. Born to rule my foot.

As a true Muslim, I cherish the courage of Pope Benedict for voluntary resignation due to sickness and old age. We thank you for serving as a true Christain who served as a bridge between Christainity and Islam. Well done our Holy Papal.

The pope knows his limitations and decided to act by resigning for the good of the church. The day Nigerian rulers start resigning for the good of the country that is the day our nation will start working again.

I believe so much so that his resignation is not to throw The Church of Christ into confusion as some people are already thinking.

It is very important to understand the angle, His Holiness is citing his resignation claims on Strength wise. I so much Believe that the Catholic Church is a universal one and such, getting a new pontiff wont be difficult as electing the President of a Nation.

Therefore, I sincerely plea with us all on this religious issue to take it very seriously and sensitivity for that matter.

Furthermore, let us pray that The Good Lord, will elect his own without prejudice for the electorate(Cardinals). and God name will not be profane at the end of the election.

I wish Pope Benedict happy retirement and May the Blessings of God rest on him and everything he does after retirement.

Hail Mary.

He is an insider. The man know things many of you don't known. How many of our so called knight are members of secret cult. This whole catholic thing is a charade. You can't fool people for too long.

Fresh round of campaign and politics will soon start. The next papacy will preside over the rotten empire and global fraud called a Church. The old man who became a G.O. at 78 is smart enough to notice the hypocrisy, deceit and rottenness of Roman catholic. The image of catholic the world over is in ruins. Nigerian Catholics are the only holier than thou. They call it a tiny set of people. These are child molesters, homosexual, fraudsters parading as priest. They sleep with members wives, molest innocent children. The politicians and rouge members are busy building churches and buying cars for father to appease God. The list of catholic fraudsters in Nigeria both in govt and outside is too long. They will be the first to cast stone at Oyedepo and co.

This is the clear example of leadership by example. The catholic Church started democracy and leads by example. The blessed old man rules over 1.5billion Christ Followers of the CC, but he resigns because he believed that his strength is failing at 85yrs. He is willingly resigning to handover to a younger cardinal that have the physical strength to carry on effectively the grueling schedules of the papacy. God accept your humble request to rest quietly and moreso help you oversee the election of a worthy servant and leader of followers of Christ Jesus on earth. Amen

Extra Extra!!!. I love Oyinbo people. Na dem go arrange am. Na dem go expose am. Na dem go detroy am. I respect this dude sha. Compare to African mem. Dem go carry the leadership to there grave

I think there is something more to this. The cristian world should investigate the real motives. At least Pope John Paul II was much more sick like than Pope Benedict, yet he ruled the church till his death. Am told that you say Pope is the vicar of Christ on earth, but Christ did not resign for any reason during his ministry.

Very nice one Pope.
Hope the powers that be in Nigeria are learning?

Naija, there you go again!  You over religious has decided to attach this to end time, what end time?  The man is old and honest about it.  He honestly tell the world that his energy cannot carry the responsibilities of the office, and as a honorable man, he did the right thing.  Stop this gulibility about end time.  Very soon, someone will be deceiving and collecting your money with this end time story.  Naija beware.

What has the Pope's resignation got to do with the other religion? I mean, you've got nothing to say, it may serve you well to keep quiet....!
