"Benny is a "Pope-Emeritus" which means he's still a Pope of some sort"

Your premise is wrong from the git-go. Benedict (Joseph Ratzinger) is not a pope now at all. There are no different grades or degrees of "pope." He is a priest, a Bishop -- not a pope, period.

As for your contemptuous tone --- "Bennie" and "Frannie" --- let me, in all charity and a spirit of Christian good will, advise you to knock it off.

Then why the title, "Pope Emeritus?"

Thanks. I needed that and will comply.

Why does he still wear white?
