>refusing to relinquish his power
Hans, are you kidding? The Vatican Curia always held secret power. This is where all the factions (Zionists, etc.) manipulate the popes. And it is the Curia who always plots against the popes, to poison them, etc. The Curia also is the body who elects the pope.
Pope John Paul II, the original, knew the power of the Curia very well, and the shadowy things they do in secret, and had plans to reform the Curia, clean it out!, and so he was replaced with a double who had no interest in reforming the Curia.
On RMNs many always bash the U.N., but the mother harlot of all abominations on this planet, and the most powerful spreading degenerative consciousness is the Vatican. It has the highest concentration of destructive energies on this planet.

: CRISIS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
: The Pope's Contradictions
: By Hans Küng
: "Outwardly Pope John Paul II, who has been actively
: involved in battling war and suppression, is a beacon of
: hope for those who long for freedom. Internally, however,
: his anti-reformist tenure has plunged the Roman Catholic
: church into an epochal credibility crisis.
: Don't be fooled by the crowds: Millions have left the Catholic
: Church under Pope John Paul II's leadership.
: The Catholic church is in dire straits. The pope is deathly
: ill and deserves every bit of sympathy he can get. But the
: church must live on, and in light of the selection of a new
: pope, it will need a diagnosis, an unadorned insider
: analysis. The therapy will be discussed later.
: Many marvel at the staying power of this highly fragile,
: partially paralyzed head of the Roman Catholic church, a
: man who, despite all medications, is barely able to speak.
: He is treated with a sort of reverence that would never be
: extended to an American president or a German chancellor in
: a similar state. Others feel put off by a man they see as
: an obstinate office bearer who, instead of accepting the
: Christian path to his own eternity, is using all means at
: his disposal to hold on to power in a largely undemocratic
: system.
: Even for many Catholics, this pope at the end of his physical
: strength, refusing to relinquish his power, is the symbol
: of a fraudulent church that has calcified and become senile
: behind its glittering façade."

: Hans Kung is one of today's leading Catholic theologians.
: Küng, a Swiss national living in the southern German city
: of Tübingen, has been embroiled in an ongoing feud with
: church authorities for decades. As a result of his critical
: inquiries on the papacy, the Vatican withdrew his church
: authority to teach in 1979. Nevertheless, Küng, 75, is
: still a priest and, until his retirement in 1995, taught
: ecumenical theology at the University of Tübingen.
