Some may consider this crazy, but I’ve long suspected that B16 is being kept alive by God as a counter-sign against the Bergoglio papacy and also as a chastisement—he’s being punished by being forced to personally witness the extraordinary damage that he, in his weakness, inflicted upon the Church. He comforts himself by uttering statements like “The Lord wins in the end” because he knows bitterly how badly the Church and faith are losing under the loser from Argentina.
