Will Francis Abolish Benedicts’ “Pope Emeritus”?

Francis may soon promulgate an Apostolic Constitution regulating the resignation of a pope and his status following a resignation, Maria Antonietta Calabrò speculates on HuffingtonPost.it (August 23).

The intention would be to avoid misleading interpretations on the existence of two popes, on their cohabitation, on the thesis of "an enlarged papacy" and on other strange theories.

Calabrò doesn’t exclude that under the new law there will not be any “Pope Emeritus” at all.
