If Francis were to die tomorrow would Benedict be Pope again by default?

Pope Benedict XVI is STILL Pope. There is no citation anywhere in Canon Law, Holy Scripture or traditional Church teaching that allows for having both a Pope and a “Pope Emeritus” ... The entire mess is a grand fabrication, affected for the GOATS of “New Church” to salivate over ... They will all have a front row seat in Hell.

No, Benedict XVI would not resume his papacy. He is retired now and until he dies. When Francis dies, there will be another conclave and I bet they won’t repeat the mistake made by the conclave that elected. We need a young, healthy, rigorously orthodox pope who has the backbone to purge the bad guys.
