May God bless our Holy Father now and until the end of his earthly life! Amen!

A minutes-long applause will never be enough to thank him for his 8 wonderful and fruitful years in papacy. He had many trials but his faith and character rose above those trials and kept him standing firmly for the church and for us 1.1 Billion Catholics around the world.

1. Everyone clapping ... everyone! 2. His secretary crying 3. The pride is every faithful's face 4. His humble acceptance of the applause with joined hands 5. The deafening silence the moment he called all to prayer 6. The constant composure in his face, & especially in his voice in the benediction Grazie Santita. Praised be Jesus Christ! Forever, Amen.

Pope Benedict is a great gift to the Church, to all of us from God when we most need a great saint, a giant of a teacher, a Vicar of Christ, like the Lord, meek and humble of heart. Seeing him, we see Christ.

I love him so much. Breaks my heart on what made him leave. A joy to see REAL HUMILITY !!IN OUR POPE . NOT TO MENTION OUR BEAUTIFUL LATIN.MAKES YOU WEEP FOR OUR OLD MASS.

Joseph Ratzinger was my hero. Benedict is my hero! Praise God and may God bless you a guide you home.

I really miss you Pope Benedict. After all scandals revealed lately and the reasons behind why you left the pontificate, it just makes me even more sad to imagine the struggles you were facing alone and fighthing the church mafias. May God always Bless You and Protect You! May you be surrounded by good and sincere people during your retiring time.

This is a well deserved honor. Thank you for your Excellent service to God and all human beings. You will be Missed. Bless You and may God be with you always.

We didn't know how good we had it during his pontificate

Merci a Vous,Très Saint Père BENOIT XVI!!!!

Good gosh, he looks absolutely exhausted. It is obvious that he gave great energy and effort over the last 8 years, and certainly many years as a cardinal before that. I pray that the Holy Father will find peace and rest in his final years.

Long live the pope! We love you Benedict!

So is this long applause worthy, deserved & long-sought approval of how our beloved Benedict is loved!

Beautiful. I was tearing up myself. Benedict XVI, along with Paul VI, is my favorite pope and he will be greatly missed.

He is without peer as a theologian in this generation. He tried to retire twice as a Cardinal, then he reluctantly accepted the election as Bishop of Rome. We will miss you, Pope Benedict XVI. You have been a great shepherd these past eight years! Thank you for believing in the young people, and for welcoming back more orthodox elements of our faith - amen!

Long live Catholicism.

Deus abençoe o Papa emérito Bento XVI. Amém!

We should flood the comments page with words of love and gratitude for our beloved Papa Bene... drown out all them haters! We love you Holy Father!! We LOVE YOU!!!! Thanks be to God for YOU!

Pope Benedict XVI, we love you! Nós te amamos!

I could not help it, my tears rolled down uncontrollably!

May you now rest in peace! Pray for us to the Father.

We love you Pope. I just sad because I won't see you here in BRAZIL ! But I still love you as before. God Bless you.

We love you Pope Benedict XVI! Thank you so much!

Humilde diante dos aplausos, grande Bento XVI!

God bless Pope Benedict XVI, our God will always be with you, always..

Te amamos Santo Padre Benedicto XVI

He will be so missed. Even if he is simply going to pray quietly in Vatican City, Pope Benedict will still cast a long shadow. God bless you, Papa, you've earned your rest.

Simplesmente: EMOCIONANTE! Que Deus abençoe nosso amado Bento XVI nesse novo tempo de sua vida!

Miss you Pope Benedict XVI..

We love you and God blessed

we love u Pope Benedict VXI

After the death of our magnificent JP2 I was worried about the election of a new POPE. I was nervous cause I've been reading prophecy books for yrs. and am familiar about St. Malachy's prophecy concerning the last Pope. When Cardinal Ratzinger walked out to greet "his new flock" my heart just smiled and smiled and I knew we were all in good HANDS. GOD bless you greatly POPE BENEDICT.

Well deserved applause, thank you Benedictus!!!!

Shock and awe. Shock at his resignation, awe at this homage, and touched by the gesture of the bishops. A wise and good man.

Long live the Pope!!! Sad to see that our Pontiff is to retire... but amazed of the great Humility he showed... truly this man Loves the Church; the Body of Christ!!! Conclave coming soon... hehehe

crying. I'll miss you, Pope Benedict. God Bless.

Eu amo o Papa Bento XVI!

God bless the man crying!

Gracias Santidad, su vida fue un continuo donarse a Dios a servicio de la Iglesia. Ud. Nunca se fue, nunca nos dejó, hemos sentido su continúa presencia entre nosotros y la acción portentosa de su intercesión por nosotros. Gracias por permanecer con nosotros todavía, su continúa bendición, nos acompaña siempre.😊

The St Gallen Mafia members were so happy he stepped down, but you can tell some true holy cardinals had teary eyes when they know the humble and conservative Vicar of Christ would soon leave them. I believe Pope Benedict didnt want this to happen ever. But now, the truth’s been revealed. Our Lady is cleaning the house

LINDO !!!! ESTE PAPA É UM EXEMPLO DE SANTIDADE E HUMILDADE!!!

I will miss him. He did some really courageous things whilst being Pope that made him unpopular among the liberals and the secular media. I'm praying the next Pope will have the same conviction and be as conservative and strict. May the Church serve God and not what is popular and trendy.

We Love You

We are going to miss him.

I miss him....

In the fullness of time, God will reveal to us why he allowed Pope Benedict XVI to resign. I miss you Papa Ratzinger 😢

Blessings upon you Benedit

That applause was totally EPIC!! You are loved "Papa Bear".

We love you Pope!

THE POPE KNEW THAT BUT WHAT CAN HE DO? TELL THEM THAT IT WAS WRONG TO DO SO? WHEN A POPE SAYS MASS, HE HAS A VERY CAREFUL MIND AND THOUGHT LEST HE MIGHT OFFEND THE FEELINGS OF SOME PERSONS WHO WERE CLAPPING IN THE MASS. SO HE DID THE BEST BY JUST THANKING THEM. HE KNOWS THAT HE DIDN'T DESERVE ANY OF THAT BECAUSE HE IS A HUMBLE MAN. HE KEPT IN A PRAYING POSITION ALL THE WHILE AND HE HAD ONLY A SMILE. TRUST ME, HE KNOWS THAT THOSE APPLAUSE ARE DEDICATED TO GOD BECAUSE OF THE POPE HE GAVE TO US.

I love you dear Pope Benedict XVI... it doesn't matter what hateful people say... you are a good man and we are blessed to have had you as a pope! God bless you! Those who judge would do well to judge themselves first before resorting to false and unfair accusations against the Vicar of Christ, servant of the servants of God! When did the pope ever molest you? How many priests have you personally known who molested people... get your facts straight before you malign God's servants!!!

it must be a brave thing for him to do...He sets an example for world leaders who want to hold on to power long after theyre deemed useful. ! He is the head of the city state of the vatican. i applaud him .

Lately we can see a lot of it (when priest is leaving or the choir is celebrating anniversary or something). I attribute it to the strong feeling of people and their lack of education. So they see it as the best way to express approval and gratitude.

You should be proud of him. He, more than anyone else understood and got to grips with the scandal of sex abuse in the church. He cleaned it out and got blamed for the very thing which he was so vehemently against. His final act - his resignation - is a completion of this work. When Benedict resigns, the Curia has to resign with him and be re-appointed and it will remove those at the top who have been responsible for so much wrong-doing and disgrace. God bless Benedict and his successor.

This is the real Vatican, made up of cardinals who love the pope as their spiritual father and brother, and who will defer to the Holy Spirit to choose his successor. It shows the Church as she truly is, not as a political institution based on the will of men, but as the children of God dedicated to carrying out his work in the world. Benedict has done God's will, both in accepting the papacy and in resigning from it. He has put the good of others before his own and so deserves applause.

Not all clergy (only a very small percentage in fact were a part of the abuse scandal) There are so many religious who are good and faithful to their calling... A vast army of priests and bishops and religious who lay down their lives for the Gospel. I am proud to be Catholic! :-)

Obrigado Bento XVI, o mundo está contigo! TU ES PETRUS

Benedicto aquele que vem em nome do Senhor!

I agree Eric Spoeth! he is indeed a humble servant! Let us pray fro him....

Immer noch unser Papst!!! Er lebt im Herzen weiter !!!!!!!!!!!!

We miss you our future saint

The Catholic Faith is God's and there is no peace without Him. War is the wage of sin. People need the Faith. Need the sacraments. Need His grace. Without them there can not be true peace.

the Priest who was crying at 1:22 is Msgr. Marco Agostini he is one of the Papal Master of Ceremonies nominated to this post on June 13, 2009 the first time he has been on the Pope's right side was on the Canonization in October of 2009 since then, he has been in several major Liturgical Celebrations Canonizations, Urbi et Orbi, Christmas and Holy Week celebrations among others but possibly one of the highlight of his career is being with the Pope during WYD in Madrid

BENDITO E O QUE VEM EM NOME DO SENHOR.

Great job Robert, I ran into one of your colleagues today and just got home and clicked on this without thinking.

Pray for us Your Holiness 🙏

God is Great !

Très Saint Père, la France vous aime ! Que Dieu vous bénisse !

Obrigado Papa amado pelo Brasil!

In that excerpt she clearly makes a distinction between conversion and peace.

Amo pra sempre Bentinhu!

Viva o Papa!

Gracias Papa, Thank you dear Pope, Pax et Bonum, Obrigado, Grazie. The Devil will not prevail against God's church

Our Lady’s words are structured on the promise of Proverbs 16:7: the “conversion” of Russia does not mean the conversion of the nation to the Catholic Faith, but rather the conversion of a persecuting enemy (Russia) to a certain period of peace. We will see exactly what this means as we go along, and that the evidence from the message of Fatima bears this out.

a claps of trust and loyalty to his Authority.

Proverbs 16:7, Almighty God Himself uses the word “conversion” not to mean a conversion to the true Faith, but the conversion of a persecuting enemy to peace (i.e. to a cessation of his persecuting ways). Proverbs 16:7- “When the ways of man shall please the Lord, He will convert even his enemies to peace.” In fact, what is striking is that Our Lady’s words of July 13 appear to be structured on Proverbs 16:7: in the context of both, conversion is immediately linked with peace,

Credible 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

et us point out right away that in 1930, in two letters to Father Goncalves, Sister Lucy was to express in a slightly different manner the requests of heaven… [Sister Lucy]: ‘The good Lord promises to end the persecution in Russia, if the Holy Father will himself make a solemn act of reparation and consecration of Russia to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, as well as ordering all the bishops of the Catholic Church to do the same. The Holy Father must then promise that upon the

I totally agree with you. Being German, I also must say that outside of Germany he was more popular and loved rather than inside. However, thank God that the Catholic Church is worldwide and German catholics make out only a very small percentage - they are even about to shrink to a very healthy core.

I'd like your comments on the following..The Catholic Encyclopedia, “Heresy,” 1914, Vol. 7, p. 261: “The pope himself, if notoriously guilty of heresy, would cease to be pope because he would cease to be a member of the Church.” St. Robert Bellarmine, Cardinal and Doctor of the Church, De Romano Pontifice, II, 30: "A pope who is a manifest heretic automatically (per se) ceases to be pope and head, just as he ceases automatically to be a Christian and a member of the Church.

From this consecration we can expect some benefits, but not the conversion of Russia." She concluded, "The Consecration of Russia has not been done as Our Lady had demanded it. I was not able to say it because I did not have the permission of the Holy See."

I think IF some of them did, it'd not be Catholic of them, it'd be very HUMAN of them. I have to look into the other stuff but I'm aware Catholics can go to parishes with a more appropriate liturgy e.g. the Tridentine Latin Mass. Out of curiosity how do you personally celebrate mass?

Then there is the little- known revelation of Our Lady to Sister Lucy in the early 1950s, which is recounted in Il Pellegrinaggio Della Meraviglie, published under the auspices of the Italian episcopate. The Virgin Mary appeared to Sister Lucy in May 1952 and said "Make it known to the Holy Father that I am always awaiting the Consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart. Without the Consecration, Russia will not be able to convert, nor will the world have peace."

Pope Pius XII, Sacro Vergente Anno (Apostolic Letter), July 7, 1952: “…just as a few years ago We consecrated the entire human race to the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God, so today We consecrate and in a most special manner We entrust all the peoples of Russia to this Immaculate Heart…” Thus, it is an undeniable fact that Pope Pius XII specifically consecrated Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

in the traditional sense in the Mass and, I repeat, to get the Catholic Mass closer to the Calvinist Mass ..Even Dietrich von Hildebrand, a supporter of the Vatican II religion, said about the New Mass: “Truly, if one of the devils in C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters had been entrusted with the ruin of the liturgy he could not have done it better.”[7]

There are two marinis the one is @1:14 and the other is at the altar next to the pope.

GRACIAS¡¡¡

I hope with all my heart the new pope recognises St Guineford.

♫♫♫♫Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ King of endless glory!♫♫♫♫

That's Thee Greatest Honor Right There B

In the midst of the clapping, the Pope only had a smile.

During WWII, Nazi authorities in Croatia have forbidden Arhcbishop Stepinac from adressing the public in any way including sermon in church. It was after a strong criticism he laid upon the same goverment for treatment of Jews, Serbs and other minorities. On sunday mass, after the ban, he went to the pulpit and people bursted in spontanious applause. When he got up he spoke: "In church you can applaude only God!"

it's the hardest thing to attend a good mass, a sspx chapel is an option if the priest is not a notorious heretic which now a days is tough to find,if you're lucky look for a traditional mass in your area with a sedevacantist priest...I go to a ukranian catholic church for confession and communion, for the mass I can only pray by myself

That particular quote the visionary added to her account of what Our Lady said years after the event. While the original version was approved by the Church, the phrase about Rome being the seat of Anti-Christ was never approved. Reply With Quote. So if you accept that apparition on the authority of the Church's approval, you must also REJECT that quote if you're going to be consistent.

The Catholic faith saves souls. Thats what Our Lord and Lady want. What other conversion could be ment?

Wherefore, he can be judged and punished by the Church. This is the teaching of all the ancient Fathers who teach that manifest heretics immediately lose all jurisdiction."

He never abdicated the Papal Office per se.

It is in the closing anyway... and who knows? THE PEOPLE ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS QUOTE!

ending of this persecution in Russia, if the Holy Father will himself make a solemn act of reparation and consecration of Russia to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, as well as ordering all the bishops of the Catholic Church to do the same. The Holy Father must then promise that upon the ending of this persecution he will approve and recommend the practice of the reparatory devotion already described.’” So, according to Sr. Lucy, the message at Tuy that Our Lord will “save” Russia

Thank you for writing. I do not know about you, but I am Catholic, so I ask you to give me links to specific and proven information which will lead me to this conclusion.
