Could it Be? Another Resignation? "Pope Benedict to step down April 15 2012"

I’m not sure where I found this first, but the link to this article apparently goes to a Christian website. Here it is. http://www.christian-faith.com/forjesus/pope-benedict-to-step-down-april-15-2012
Now I point out that the article itself does not state “Pope Benedict to step down April 15 2012”, but rather, “the Pope is thinking about resigning during the Spring of 2012.” Anyway, a short article, so here it is.

There is one front page news story that will certainly not go unnoticed: that is, that the Pope is thinking about resigning during the Spring of 2012. Journalist Antonio Socci has confirmed the same in the Italian daily, Libero.
“For now,” Socci writes, “he is saying that this may be true (Joseph Ratzinger’s personal assumption), but I hope the story does not reach the news. But this rumor is circulating high up in the Vatican and therefore deserves close attention. The Pope has not rejected the possibility of his resignation when he turns 85 in April next year.”
Socci recalls that the assumption he will resign, without any hitches, was the same thing Ratzinger talked about in an interview in the book “Luce del mondo” (Light of the World), when, in response to a question by interviewer Peter Seewald, he said: “When a Pope arrives at a clear awareness that he no longer has the physical, mental, or psychological capacity to carry out the task that has been entrusted to him, then he has the right, and in some cases, even the duty to resign.” Furthermore, in another passage, Benedict XVI wondered if he would be able to “withstand it all, just from the physical point of view.”
Next Up is Peter the Roman.
