- Abstract
The present work by Sebastian Marx examines the papal resignation with particular consideration of the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI. Marx examines the doctrinal foundations of the papal office as well as the legal norms of the Codex Iuris Canonici of 1983. The text addresses the topic of the pope's resignation and examines the legal foundations for it. It is determined that the resignation of the pope was first established through the resignation of Pope Celestine V in 1294. The text acknowledges the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI as valid and positive, as he resigned for the good of the Church due to his age and declining strength. The author proposes a canonical regulation to avoid misunderstandings. He also criticizes the practice of Benedict XVI continuing to wear the white cassock, as this could give the impression of two popes.
