Pope Benedict the XVI Nearing Death-Prayers Requested

Retired Pope Benedict XVI is 'very sick,' Pope Francis says

Editor's note: This story has been updated to include a statement from the Vatican press office

Pope Francis asked for prayers for retired Pope Benedict XVI on Dec. 28, saying he is "very sick."

The pope's request came during his weekly general audience, where he added that the 95-year-old supports the church "in silence."

Francis went on to "ask the Lord to console him and support him in this testimony of love for the church until the end."

Benedict XVI was elected pope on April 19, 2005 until he resigned on February 28, 2013, becoming the first pope to voluntarily abdicate the papacy in nearly 600 years. Since then, he has lived in the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery inside the Vatican, where he has been largely withdrawn from public life.  

Following the pope's request for prayers, a Vatican statement said the retired pope's conditions had been aggravated in "the last few hours" due to his advanced age.

"The situation at the moment remains under control, constantly followed by doctors," it said.

The statement also noted that following the Wednesday audience, Francis visited Benedict XVI at the retired pope's residence.

Reports that Pope Benedict is dying. The Pope is the Great Restrainer (Katechon) of 2 Thessalonians 2. Expect all hell to break loose with the Katechon – the Pope – gone.


Pray. With Pope Benedict Ratzinger gone, Antipope Bergoglio and his cabal will aggressively attempt to utterly destroy the Church Militant. They will attempt to eliminate the Mass, change the words of consecration, ratify sodomy and every type of perversion, infanticide, suicide, blasphemy, idolatry and Satanism – it will be a war of total, unrestrained attrition. All of it built upon the hamfisted deception that “Francis” is, was or ever shall be the Vicar of Christ on Earth.

And it seems that no one is willing to lift a finger to stop them. Effeminacy in extremis- utter paralysis in the face of abject, obvious, observable evil. Look at verse ten below: “…to believe lying.”

Pray. Pray for Pope Benedict. Pray for Holy Mother Church.

Here is the text of 2 Thessalonians chapter Two. This may be happening right now.


The Second Letter of St. Paul to The Thessalonians, Chapter Two

[1] And we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together unto Him: [2] That you be not easily moved from your sense, nor be terrified, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by epistle, as sent from us, as if the day of the Lord were at hand. [3] Let no man deceive you by any means, for unless there come a revolt first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, [4] who opposeth, and is lifted up above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he were God. [5] Remember you not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

[6] And now you know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time. [7] For the mystery of iniquity already worketh; only that he who now holdeth, do hold, until he be taken out of the way. [8] And then that wicked one shall be revealed whom the Lord Jesus shall kill with the spirit of His mouth; and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming, him, [9] whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders, [10] And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying:

[11] That all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity. [12] But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of God, for that God hath chosen you firstfruits unto salvation, in sanctification of the spirit, and faith of the truth: [13] Whereunto also he hath called you by our gospel, unto the purchasing of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. [14] Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle. [15] Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God and our Father, who hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation, and good hope in grace,

[16] Exhort your hearts, and confirm you in every good work and word.
