I still think Benedict was removed because he knew too much.
He was doing something about it.
JP2 knew about things on his watch and prior to it, but didn’t intervene.
Freepers vigorously defended JP2’s inaction at the time, insisting that the Pope has no real power over th hierarchy. Francis has completely shredded the thin fabricated defense.
The rot runs deep.
The Roman Catholic Church must remove Francis, and find another Benedict with more fortitude to clean house.
Or he was compromised in some fashion
I think he was removed because he wanted to stop it from Rome.
When B16 was elected, Francis was in the running as well.
Benedict once said something about a smaller faithful Church was better than a bigger one.

Ditto to that thought.
