"[Benedict] sacrificed himself and resigned the exercise of the power of jurisdiction (governing) that belongs to whoever occupies the Chair of Peter, but not the power of orders. Jorge Maria Bergolio, who was elected to succeed Benedict to the Chair of Peter in 2013 has chosen, rightly or wrongly, to exercise ALL of the powers of the papacy with the resulting chaos that we are now experiencing."
This hints that we are talking about the "powers of the papacy," specifically, not just the powers of the priesthood.
It sounds like Gracida is saying that Benedict intended to abdicate some of the prerogatives of the papacy, but not all of them. As if the Petrine office could be divided and shared out by two people.
If this is what was intended, I think it possible that that would invalidate Benedict's abdication. I don't see how the papacy itself could be reconfigured on the spot into a two-man office.
