It is reported that Pope Benedict XVI died this morning, December 31, 2022, on the Feast of Pope Saint Sylvester.
Réquiem ætérnam dona ei Dómine; et lux perpétua lúceat ei. Requiéscat in pace. Amen.
You may recall that Sylvester is the papal name taken by the last-ever Pope in the novel Lord of the World, by Robert Hugh Benson; this Pope celebrates Mass as Our Lord returns to slay the antichrist.
I find the coincidence chilling indeed.
Who knows when the next conclave may be held? Short of the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart, I don’t know how this situation has a chance of resolution until a post-death-of-Bergoglio conclave. God have mercy on Pope Benedict, and on us.
Whatever happened that has yet to come to light, Summorum Pontificum was a great act of justice and charity. We should not forget this.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!

Gregem tuum, Pastor ætérne, placátus inténde: et per beátum Silvéstrum Summum Pontíficem perpétua protectióne custódi; quem totíus Ecclésiæ præstitísti esse pastórem.
Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.

It is obvious that the German pontiff was forced out of office. We don’t know the how or why. We just know without a doubt that it happened and that he did not go willingly. — Celestine V was the last to abdicate some 600 years ago. His successor put him in prison. Who can doubt that Pope Benedict was just as much a prisoner as if he was in a dungeon. May God bless him.
Recall how Benedict was ordered back to Rome, so that he was unable to be with his brother, Georg, when he died.
