The timeline for Pope Benedict

| | Comments (0)

The pressman for the Pope gives the timeline as we know it:


  • Pope Benedict XVI has given his resignation freely, in accordance with Canon 332 ยง2 of the Code of Canon Law. [PAZ: "If it happens that the Roman Pontiff resigns his office, it is required for validity that the resignation is made freely and properly manifested but not that it is accepted by anyone."]
  • Pope Benedict XVI will not take part in the Conclave for the election of his successor.
  • Pope Benedict XVI will move to the Papal residence in Castel Gandolfo when his resignation shall become effective.
  • When renovation work on the monastery of cloistered nuns inside the Vatican is complete, the Holy Father will move there for a period of prayer and reflection.
