Canon Law, Canon 332
If it should happen that the Roman Pontiff resigns his office (munus), it is
required for validity that he make the resignation freely and that it be duly
manifested, but not that it be accepted by anyone.
See:-
Code of Canon Law, canon 332 §2 and Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches,
canon 44 §2)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

If the current Pope wants to resign - really and truly - there's not really
anything anyone can do.
If they refuse his resignation, what are they
going to do:
Arrest him
Imprison him (pretty fine quarters to be a
prison, but still a prison)
Force him to work on the "Pope's
tasks"
Seriously? If someone wants to leave, all they have to do is stop
working. Eventually "management" will have a choice to either:
Commit
crimes in attempting to make the person work
or
Let the person
go

But if you believe he is infallible, surely
his decision is too, no?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
