I am confuse why the previous pope step down to the highest position of the Catholic Church and no other reason reveal by the Vatican except health problems. I try searching other reason through the help of myLot search engine.
One link caught my attention. I read thoroughly the article and it said that the pope resign because he was converted to Islam. Do you believe that he was converted to Islam?
I am thinking maybe it's true or the writer wanted to to attract viewers and get more traffic on his/her site? What do you think guys?

I know that pope John Paul II kissed the Quran.It's a fact.He expressed gratitude.Well, he was very respectful towards other religions by the way, but he didn't convert or became a Muslim because of that.I know that Muslim bloggers write that he became Muslim because he kissed the holy book of Islam.As for pope Benedict XVI,he visited only two countries with significant Muslim population,he chose mostly Christian countries for his pastoral visits.His conversion is a hoax just like the conversion of the previous pope.I believe you have read things like:"The fastest growing religion in the world"."People convert to Islam everywhere" "Catholic priest accepted Islam".It's a propaganda technique which have been used by many in the history, including communists and Nazis.

May be the writer just want to impress his Muslim readers that their religion is the greatest among all religions, even the pope want to join the rank and convert to Islamic faith, at the same time attract traffic to his blog by spreading his invented lies on internet. I am sure many Muslims may turn out believe in his tale.

From the that article it said, “a really-old Bible in which Jesus we think and speculate that he maybe did foretell the coming of the Prophet Mohammed ...”
but it doesn’t give any support for such a claim. The same claim is the Pope said this or that is not documented at all just thrown out there to the wind.
What gets to me is from my own limited information. It is that there are Christian Muslims as well as Islamic Muslims, so it is even more confusing, who was doing the talking.
I think the Pope made a decision based on his personal health status and not to make a religious one statement.

There is a religion called Chrislam, which is a cross between Christianity and Islam. I don't see how this can make any sense - Christianity says that Jesus is God's son and Islam says that Allah doesn't have children etc. - the two religions are fundamentally incompatible.
Therefore you can't logically have such a thing as a Christian Muslim but some people don't seem to follow this logic and try.

It is hard to believe that he is converted already I think at his age I guess it is really hard to really convert that easy. I still believe that the real reason behind his resignation is his health because we can see that he has slowed down already and I do not think that there is no other story behind this resignation. I would rather believe about the vatileaks scandal where the cause but for a pope to be converted to another religion is somehow a bit ridiculous.

I am neither Catholic nor Muslim, but I do not believe that story.

Hi july teen: The answer is no. Actually as you may have seen today, new pope Francis and pope Benedict XVI has prayed together. Now that he is retired, pope Benedict will remain in the Vatican praying and dedicated to a contemplation style of life. You have to checked the sources before giving them any credibility.

I read before that the reason for the resignation is Islam more than 30 priests in the Vatican, this is the first time I read that he resigned because of his conversion to Islam is personally .. If that was the truth Congratulations to him .. Oh my God install them on Islam

I have no idea in that but it is good to do more research on that matter if he really converted to Islam and what was the reason behind.
