Pope Benedict resigned to avoid arrest, seizure of church wealth by Easter
Link is from the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State
Found some background details why the pope resigned. Notice how this information is NOT found in mainstream media outlets. Link is from the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State. It's good to know there is such a thing:
Excerpt: ".. our Tribunal acknowledges that Pope Benedict's complicity in criminal activities of the Vatican Bank (IOR) was compelling his eventual dismissal by the highest officials of the Vatican. But according to our sources, Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone forced Joseph Ratzinger's resignation immediately, and in direct response to the diplomatic note concerning the arrest warrant that was issued to him by the said nation's government on February 4, 2013.
We call upon all citizens and governments to assist our efforts to legally and directly disestablish the Vatican, Inc. and arrest its chief officers and clergy who are complicit in crimes against humanity and the ongoing criminal conspiracy to aid and protect child torture and trafficking."
He therefore stepped down to avoid prosecution of the crimes committed by him and the church in general. The article doesn't mention the nation that issued the warrant.
Speaking of those crimes against humanity, here they are along with the other ones from the catholic church mentioned by this awesome rebuttal from the eloquent Christopher Hitchens, worth watching if you haven't seen it. The video is
"Hitchens: The Catholic church is not a force for good" and is a statement of the negative side in the October 19, 2009 London based IQ Squared debate. The motion was: "The Catholic Church is a force for good in the world".
