Thanks for making this point. This fact should tell us a lot right there. At the very least it should stop folks from pining for what I call "the savior pope" (aka Ratzinger). He wasn't forced to resign. Enough already. He wasn't forced to resign. He was a willful participant in the up and coming "Bergoglio papacy"(not directing this at you).
A very well-informed, scholarly friend of mine says, “Ratzinger is a 1950’s liberal.” He was talking specifically about why Ratzinger thought that a resignation was even an option. (Not questioning the reality or validity of the resignation. Even Pius XII signed an instrument of resignation, to be effective in the event of a kidnapping. He said that Hitler “will not have the Pope, but only Pacelli.”)
It is clearer and clearer that Bergoglio is just one of Obama’s fellow “post turtles.” Totally unqualified, morally unfit, uneducated, not very bright, but willing to mouth any stupid slogan the U.N./E.U./Soros/Goldman Sachs/Morgan Stanley/NWO instructs him to, from “shacking up is a sacrament” to “carbon dioxide is a pollutant.”
