I am not really dealing with the gay theory here.
It does seem weird though that he’d remain Benedict’s main helper/aide and also work for the new Pope. The whole arrangement is odd and unusual because usually there is no retired ex-pope living, to even possibly work for.
I would think however the demands of the secretary of the Pope is 24/7 and to juggle two - let’s face it - genuine positions that can easily require two people full time, is clearly unusual.
I’m thinking that the new Pope will decide who his secretary is. This assumption that they will share a secretary is silly.
IF it is true, IMO, it would be for a smooth transition and that isn't weird but helpful. And the new pope can have time to search for a new aide if he desires or Benedict may not feel the need for an aide/full time. All uncharted territories for them.
Why would it be weird? Father Ganswein has been the Pope's Personal Secretary, and companion for years. Why should Josef Ratzinger have to get used to someone else entirely, in his old age. Wouldn't it be easier on him to have someone familiar to him, helping him in his daily activities, and just being a friend and companion?
Sullivan and his ilk are so narcissistic they can't imagine people of the same sex simply being friends and companions, without there being any sex involved.
