Great Heavens! Pope Benedict was ordained a priest back in 1951, the previous year he would have been ordained a deacon, and the year before that a subdeacon. When he was ordained a subdeacon he would have made a solemn vow of perpetual celibacy (never to get married). His last consecration was as a Bishop, and as a Bishop, he was made a Cardinal. He remains a Cardinal even after resigning from the Chair of Peter where he was Christ's Vicar, and the successor to St. Peter. He is a priest forever, he cannot resign nor abdicate that.
