Was Pope Benedict St. Paul's Katechon (2 Thes. 2) dislodged from "the center" to hasten the arrival of the age of Antichrist? Is this why Benedict resigned? And what exactly is a "Pope Emeritus"? Are these things foretold in the Third Secret? Will the Church be ruled by an antipope in league with the forces of Antichrist? Has it already begun? And how on earth will the Church ever be able to extricate herself from such a ghastly predicament? The startling answers to these compelling questions unfold in The Third Secret of Fatima and The Synodal Church: Volume 1, Pope Benedict's Resignation.

"Dr. Mazza's timely and brilliant book provides the touchstone for interpreting the most tumultuous and bewildering events in Church history: the resignation of Benedict XVI and the subsequent election of Francis L. Mazza masterfully weaves historical and canonical insights to illuminate the explosive papal paradox-- the era of two popes. You will be spellbound by his penetrating analysis. At long last, Catholics will understand the enormity and significance of the Benedict resignation. Undoubtedly, this brave and stirring account will force a reckoning in the Catholic Church."
