Pope Benedict's Death brings us to the question of Benedict's unpublished Spiritual Last Testament: Who has it? Will it resolve the questions surrounding his "Forced Resignation" & bring forward the reasons for Francis's "destroying the Church & teaching things that are not Catholic"?

Kasper: A 'forced resignation' of Pope Francis - LifeSite [... would be invalid] What might Cdl. Kasper think of a "Close" Friend of Benedict saying [... Benedict decision to resign was a result of “tremendous pressure”?] Saint Cardinal Thomas Cajetan... wrote a multi-volume commentary on the Suma Theologica . And this is what Saint Cajetan says, “If someone for a reasonable motive holds the person of the Pope in suspicion and refuses his presence, even his jurisdiction , he does not commit the delict of schism, nor any other whatsoever, provided that he’d be ready to accept the Pope were he not held in suspicion.

Edward Feser @FeserEdward There’s a style of debating that involves dumping a pile of factoid BBs on the ground, then, while your opponent is frantically racing around trying to pick each of them up, dumping another pile.

TGP: "Outlined ten reasons why this would prove a disaster for Republicans nationwide. This still remains operative.

The doctrinal position of Luther on predestination and original sin was greatly influenced by what Augustine wrote. He completely agreed with Augustine on the principle of sola gratia, that a person reached heaven solely by the grace of God, and without any necessary or possible contribution on the part of the person concerned. Luther wrote that human pursuits after salvation and righteousness are unable to cause election, and therefore man receives no merit.
