As I recall B16 was given the report, he announced his resignation, and said a copy of the report written by several trusted conservative cardinal, would be given ONLY to the new Holy Father when eleted.
For the record, I believe that Benedict stepped down solely due to health reasons, and that those reasons were both severe and legitimate. I am willing to believe that comprehending the report caused his health to rapidly deteriorate, however.
Can’t help wishing that, instead of this Roman discretion, discretion, discretion, B16 had sent the report to the Vatican printers, and sent out 50,000 copies to journalists all over the world. Have the cancer out!
