How is Benedict feeling these days?

I am not into Insider Catholic Baseball and I have no special sources, anonymous or otherwise. But it looks to me like Benedict is being managed, controlled, even imprisoned, by his long-time aide Fr. Georg Ganswein, who is always at B16's side and is working for Pope Francis.

When whistleblower Vigano said his people got confirmation from B16 that he had imposed restrictions and penalties on (former) Cardinal McCarrick years ago, Ganswein jumped in and said "No! There was no confirmation! Nobody talked to Benedict about this!"

I have a tinfoil-triple-tiara hypothesis about Benedict, but --- well codeword "Ambien."

Benedict is not healthy... look for another reformer.
