Was there a 2012 assassination plot against Pope Benedict XVI? - Der Speigel reports the Pope was to be poisoned


German and Polish press reports this morning claim that there was a plot afoot in Rome to poison the then Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI via his food. The original report is carried in Der Spiegel, with the Polish language, Fronda, and Polonia Christiana also carrying reports. Apparently the Bavarian, LKA went to Rome to assist in conducting investigations.

    If this is true and he knew about it and this drove him out of Office, then guess what?

    He is still the Pope!

    Read up on the Western Schism from 1378 to 1417 which weakened the papacy and set the stage for the Reformation. Then tell us how having multiple pretenders to the see of Peter is a really neat idea.

We believe in a good argument. That means NO ad hominem attacks. This also includes Pope Francis. Further, referring to him by any other name, may or may not indicate a schismatic attitude, and given the confusion in the Church your comment will NOT be published. Comments are those of the commentators and not those of this blog. You may use a pseudonym... we do... Behave like a guest in our living room and you will be fine.
