There is no such thing as "Pope Emeritus" in Catholicism. Sorry, you can't just make stuff up.

Sorry, he's just a priest now. A priest with incredibly poor judgement and fortitude, who has a lot to feel guilty about for abandoning his duties.

Yes. No. Yes.

Pope Benedict resigned his “active ministry”, he did not abdicate. True, there is no such thing as Pope Emeritus, that is part of his mistake. He had to fully resign or he is still Pope.
