Black Spirituality Religion : Pope's sudden resignation sends shockwaves through Church

Celestine V was the pontiff who was in for only 5 months before resigning.

Celestine V (1294) tried to rule while under the control of Charles II of Sicily, something he quickly determined wouldn’t be possible. Rather than serve as little more than a figurehead for secular powers, he simply abdicated the papal office after only 5 months. This resignation helped establish as a matter of church law that a pope may freely resign his office.



Yep... and other sources claim weeks, lol, but regardless, he left quick....:imout:.....:rofl:


In 1294, he was elected pope in theCatholic Church'slast non-conclave papal election ending a two-year impasse. One of the first edicts he issued as pope confirmed the right of the pope to abdicate. Within weeks of issuing the decree, Celestine resigned, stating his desire to return to his humble, pre-papal life.[1] In 1313, he was canonized as Catholic saint. No subsequent pope has taken the name Celestine.
