The Forum: Papal resignation: a complex canonical issue 


special to CWNews.com 

Feb. 09 (CWNews.com) - The latest medical crisis of Pope John Paul II (bio - 
news), who has now been hospitalized for a week, has reignited media 
speculation about the possibility that the Pope might resign. Although that 
possibility always been dismissed by Vatican officials, the speculation in Rome 
persists. 

In a February 7 session with reporters, Cardinal Angelo Sodano (bio - news) 
suggested that the question of resignation should be left "up to the conscience 
of the Pope, who is guided by the Holy Spirit." The Holy Father himself has 
given every indication that he plans to continue serving as Roman Pontiff until 
his death.
