I don't recall the media being too concerned with Pope Benedict's opinions. Of course Benedict wanted to undo some of the damage and heresy of Vatican II which is why he had to go.
“I think the Pope is a good man but in the WRONG job.”
Personally, I think he’s just a bad man who shouldn’t be in the job he has. And it calls to question just exactly who the College of Cardinals are today. I wouldn’t belong to an organization who had this communist turkey as it’s leader.
