Benedict XVI abdicated the ministry instead of the Munus Petrino, a requirement of the Universi Dominici Gregis for the legitimacy of the act according to canonical norm 32.2. Thus Ratzinger died remaining as legitimate Pope.

St. Francis of Assisi prophesied a non-canonically elected pope would be the cause of great trials. And he says that the fault, in this canonical context presented by him, is that many prefer to consent, rather than fight this canonical error. Thus there would be diversity of opinions and schisms among Catholics. And he revealed that in those times if they were not abbreviated even the elect would be misled. His reasoning would demonstrate the lack of charity to the Church and its norms, which are related to the authority of a legitimate Vicar of Christ, that all this chaos would occur.
Knowing this, the saint of Assisi always obliged his friars to obey the Roman Pontiff, but a canonically legitimate Pope.
Because he knew that the Catholic Church is united to the legitimate Pope, and a legitimate Pope united to the Catholic Church.
It is up to everyone to discern in order to understand what is likely to happen soon.
