Questioning Benedict XVI's Resignation? Habemus Papam

About this sermon

On February 11, 2013, Pope Benedict XVI, announced his abdication of the throne of Peter. At the end of that month, Benedict would no longer act as the Bishop of Rome and the Visible Head of the Mystical Body of Christ on earth. This unprecedented move…simply retiring from the office due to age and infirmity…certainly damaged the papacy. On March 13, 2013, at 7:13 PM Rome time, white smoke arose from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel announcing the election of a new pope… habemus Papam. Initially, I did not know the identity of the new pontiff, but I soon found out that he was a Jesuit…and a Jesuit from South America. To be honest with you, I was very concerned. Furthermore, when he appeared on the balcony without the mozzetta…without that traditional velvet shoulder length cape…I was concerned that his rejection of time honored customs might suggest that the new pope had a certain disdain for Tradition. People spoke of his Marian piety trusting that perhaps our Lady would temper the new pope’s revolutionary tendencies. One thing was for sure…we had a new pope. No voting cardinal, not even the canon law expert and former prefect of the Vatican’s highest court, Cardinal Burke, ever questioned the legitimacy of Benedict’s resignation or the legitimacy of Francis’ election. And to this day, that is still the case. We do have a pope seated upon the throne of Peter and we truly deserve him.
