Full Title: "Drafts Part XVII: the Statement of Mons. Negri on the Resignation of Benedict XVI, and the Denial of Father Lombardi, Who Either Does Not Know the Facts or Wants to Mislead"
Msgr. Negri has a strong friendship with Benedict XVI. And you see frequently. Evidently Father Lombardi does not know and does not know the true motives of the resignation of Benedict. And he begins to talk nonsense. Therefore thus he speaks. But within a month you will be able to publish the content of the fateful letter that Benedict received before deciding to resign.
Father Lombardi also, like many other journalists, on this subject should be silent. Because the reasons for the resignation of Pope Ratzinger are not trifles. Are serious reasons. And not because of poor health or other theological reasons.
But for serious reasons, really serious.
Here ends my draft. On this issue, we will publish in a month.
Be warned, however, that Mons. Negri is a trusted friend of Benedict.
[For Mons. Negri "talking nonsense," see below.}
Father Lombardi commented for The Seismograph and relativized the Emeritus Archbishop of Ferrara's words on the resignation of Ratzinger and the alleged plot to get him to resign
The website The Seismograph directed by Luis Badilla asked Father Federico Lombardi, president of the Board of the Foundation and Ratzinger Vatican spokesman at the time of the renunciation of Benedict XVI, a commentary on the statements of the retired bishop of Ferrara Luigi Negri, who in recent days he spoke of "serious reasons" behind the resignation of Ratzinger. The entirety:
Read the statements of Msgr. Negri is always interesting and in a nice way, as he likes to say what he thinks "out of the teeth." So it is also a good part of his last interview, published on www.duepuntozero.it. But sometimes it is legitimate to question the appropriateness of what he says.
I am referring to what is stated in the third interview answer, promptly resumed in the piece entitled "Serious responsibilities inside and outside the Vatican for the resignation of Benedict XVI." Statements that have gone unnoticed and have not been promptly restarted on different warheads, provoking questions, and - in my opinion - unnecessary confusion.
Msgr. Negri, who speaks freely of his "strong friendship" with Benedict XVI, says: "I have little knowledge - thankfully - the facts of the Roman Curia, but I am certain that one day emerge grave responsibilities inside and outside the Vatican. Benedict XVI has undergone tremendous pressures ". Then refers to alleged pressure from the Obama administration and concludes: "It remains for now a serious mystery, but I am sure that the responsibilities will come out. Approaching my personal 'end of the world', and the first question they'll come to St. Peter's will be right on this issue. " I observe first that - thankfully - Mons. Negri acknowledges to know just the facts, which in part allows to relativize its claims, however, that are presented to us as a "certainty."
Now, what Benedict XVI has stated publicly before the cardinals gathered in Consistory and the world, and what has reiterated once again clearly in response to Peter Seewald published in the "Last Conversations" published by Garzanti, is absolutely different from what Negri he claims. Benedict says that in fact the decision was made for giving freely and responsibilities and that there is no mystery to be revealed. I have always thought that Benedict XVI is a man who put the truth first. How do you so blatantly contradict what he said and then solemnly reaffirmed?
It seems a strange testimony of "friendship" to Mons. Negri, who triumphantly contradicts what his friend says. I note also that I have pretty much the same age as Mons. Negri and I prepare myself to my own "end of the world": but I will not do to St. Peter the same question of Mons. Negri, because the answer has already given me the Benedict XVI personally and believe it. So I think another.
Finally, it is true - as Msgr. Negri - who emeritus pope is "lucid in thought", but also "physically embrittled." So for four years would not have been able to chair long public celebrations, long hearings, complex meetings, synodal assemblies, let alone make trips and even visits to parishes, etc ... In his perfect lucidity, four years ago it was the fully aware, and apparently he thought this would be a problem for the community of the Church ... How to blame him? I do not think so it is necessary to think of the terrible pressures from overseas. We can easily think that his was a very wise and sensible decision, before God and before men. We appreciate it. I believe that several of his successors will be grateful.
Like so many things surrounding high level politics, what we don’t know is often more complex than what we do know.

I wish each side would come out and state simply what it wants so the real world may decide.
That’s exactly what they will never do and one of the reasons I’m no longer a Catholic.
I wonder if Obama threatened to have Muslims attack in places where there are
mostly Christians with WMDs provided by Obama? The resignation is allowing
the NWO, communist, Agenda 21 teams to advance their agendas without
destroying infrastructure the muzzies wish to control nor the women they lust
for.
