@Angelo That's an interesting theory, but surely would leave the present occupant exposed to a similar coup. ...unless, "steps" were taking to eliminate the formation of future filth parades I suppose.
I believe that Cardinal Kasper, in the wake of Abp. Viganò’s calling for Francis’ resignation, said that, if he were to resign, it would be invalid, because it would be under duress. Wouldn’t the same apply to the resignation of Benedict XVI?
