Are There Really Two Popes?

On December 8, Pope Francis pushed open the Holy Door of the Basilica of St Peter’s. He thus became the first person to walk through one of the “Doors of Mercy” in cathedrals and churches all over the world that symbolise forgiveness for Catholics in this Jubilee Year of Mercy.

And the second person to walk through? Benedict XVI, dressed in the white cassock reserved for popes alone.
