I’ve long suspected that God has kept him alive as a sort living purgatory, forcing him to witness first-hand the disastrous consequences of his ill-advised resignation.
Pope Benedict ALWAYS said that he didn't want the job. He was always said to have a "towering intellect" and a backbone of "tempered steel." It was NO secret that he didn't want the papacy.
Does EVERY cardinal HAVE to want the job?
Your suspicions point to a mean, nasty God.
Perhaps your suspicions keep you alive to witness the consequences of your own ill-advised opinions of Pope Benedict and our Lord.

Just a thought.
