Benedict XVI is abdicating on the 28th of February!
Not exactly sure where to put this (doesn't seem to be an 'ecclesiastical heraldry' section any more), but Pope Benedict has announced he will abdicate on the 28th of February of this year. Does anyone know who the most likely candidates are in the next Papal Conclave, and what their arms are?

Perhaps this could be moved to that section.
On topic, more interesting heraldicly speaking is what ornaments soon-to-be Joseph Ratizinger once again would use around his arms. It's not clear---though I would assume it will be the case---he'll go back to being a cardinal. My bet is that he'll use the arms he presently uses but rather than redesign.

The Vatican has confirmed that he will return to his previous status as a Cardinal, but his exact role in the Church is yet to be determined.

I read that he will retire into a monastry which is located in the Vatican
And what is also interesting what will he be. He is a bishop but without a see as his current one will be taken over by the new pope. I wonder if he will be a titular archbishop or mayby emiritus archbishop of Munchen-Freising.

Re: Benedict XVI is abdicating on the 28th of February!
As Pope Benedict is over 80 and cannot therefore participate in the Conclave, one might imagine that he will be made a Cardinal Deacon. But this is such an unusual event that he may receive some other - unique to him - title. The intriguing question is whether he appoints himself or waits for the new Pope to arrange it. If the latter, what is he in the interim? Just a priest? I don't suppose he personally is that fussed. But I bet the Vatican is buzzing.

I know he used different arms as a cardinal from the ones he uses as Pope.

No. Benedict XVI is his papal name. He will be Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, just as he was before being elected to the papacy.
