Other than being President of the United States, the pope holds the most powerful position in the world maybe even more than that of the presidency, being elected for life rather than a limited term, and representing the whole world vs. 1 country. Now tell me why would someone in that high of a position of authority would want 2 resign ? Health Reasons, if that were the case there would of been many popes to resign based on that reasoning, Not in 600 years has a pope resign. Think about it. Im NOT saying he converted to Islam, but there is something fishy about his resignation. Its more than just health issues, Im pretty sure he has the best doctors in the world at his disposal, being that the Vatican is the wealthiest sovereign city in the world. Either he did convert to Islam like Hadrian VI (Adrian Dedel) -The Lion of Florentius - Jan. 9, 1522 -- Sept. 12 1523 (This is the highest secret of the Vatican) or he found out something he does not want to be apart of...
No, he is retiring due to advanced old age, but he still holds to the Catholic faith.
No. None of the Catholic or Coptic Popes has ever converted to Islam.
