remember that Cardinal Ratzinger never wanted this honor. He will do, as he said, retire to a live of contemplation and prayer

Pope Benedict is extremely good as a scholar and theologian. he did not believe he was good enough to fill the shoes of a charismatic person like Pope John Paul II.

And, as a person, he definitely was not. He looked old and frail before JP II died, but since then he actually looks younger -- and the only explanation is the Holy Spirit looking after and over him

I am not Catholic - I am a Jew - but I will pray for the Holy Father as I know he is the guardian of the one true church of Jesus of Nazareth. Thank you for your concise comment. I do not believe in “looks,” but I do believe in spiritual warfare. Perhaps Benedictus felt frail and knew the stakes were too high.
