The Pope is fal.lible. We recognized the sacrifice the chair of St. Peter appealing to their physical disability, intellectual and moral to continue exercising his ministry properly. With this gesture that recognizes the Pope can fail, which is above the vicissitudes of any human being, not only for the ills of the age but also by historical factors, personal and social of all kinds that is subject to the task Papal. The Pope does not resign because he is ill. Waiver consciously and freely, because it is usually toojays menu not feel able to carry out its task. If someone else can, that is, to continue. In this gesture there is only the realization of a disability but also a challenge implicit in the immediate future, because the conditions of the exercise toojays menu of the functions of the Pope are developed under new parameters.
Pope Pius IX, the Dogmatic Constitution Pastor Aeternus enacted on 18 July 1870 at the end of Vatican Council, when the Papal States had just been defeated by the forces of Italian unification, and therefore toojays menu had to reinforce the doctrinally temporal relevance of the Pontiff (the excommunication back through the Syllabus of Errors, socialism, communism, liberalism, rationalism, and all the isms cultural, social and political might contradict the power of the Church) little could imagine that after one hundred and forty-two years would be the same Pope who would question the foundations of that dogmatic proclamation.
Benedict acknowledges his resignation that the Pope is not equipped with any superhuman powers to be infallible, and that Dogmatic Constitution intended. On the contrary, toojays menu it is precisely toojays menu the issues of faith and customs (which wanted to limit the claim absolutist dogma of infallibility) which led him to resign. The issues of faith for theological pluralism that wanted to limit the systematic persecution (which started its work in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith) that departed from orthodox positions, with the result Dispersion and intellectual impoverishment which has led to. The topics of the customs, the blatant contradiction between the theoretical rigor and moral wanted toojays menu to keep the result of outrageous abuses of children from ecclesial instances (cases of child abuse, cover-ups, promotion and consolidation of shady characters as the founder of the Legionaries of Cristo Rey ...), in addition to the exclusion toojays menu of women from priestly functions and the behavior of a given Curia more speculation and excessive theatrical, sometimes in collusion toojays menu with low deep political and economic, that the meticulous management of a true universal Ekklesia.
The Pope has given up the Chair of St. Peter without any explicit declaration ex cathedra (as demanded by the Vatican to have value infallibility) about the meaning of his resignation, but he understands everything: fatigue Pope is the clearest symptom of fatigue Church. In the Church, as the oldest and finest buildings, you have worn materials, the fatigue is felt, and urgently requested toojays menu a moral booster, a return to the foundation of the gospel.
When he was elected Pope, Benedict wondered whether that would push the young theologian Ratzinger that was before toojays menu and during the Second Vatican Council. That did not push back, but now retired leaving his testimony toojays menu fal.libilitat toojays menu personal and substantial shortcomings of the Church in matters of faith and customs without solemnly pronounced ex cathedra, choosing the door behind Sistine Chapel, where he was elected pope, leaving it to the convent mater ecclesiae, which will removed from the mundane Curia lately of his life, imitating the action of Pope Celestine hermit comes end of S.XIII, he returned to the desert when he saw the Pope would not be with his experience of the Gospel. This contrasts with the option caps, surplice, layers, cassocks, crucifixes and badges bright toojays menu cardinals surrounding when given the unexpected news. A gesture of stripping the midst of ostentation. An indication that the stone of the gospel that Jesus wanted Peter as the foundation for their work does not correspond to the stone church Vatican bureaucracy. In his article "In toojays menu Praise of a waiver" Professor Manuel Fraijó says, recalling Lessing, this gesture that includes a search for truth, and therefore an implicit toojays menu acceptance toojays menu of the relativistic adventure. Hopefully the abandonment of the chair serves to recover, albeit a little toojays menu taste and disgust the common table.
