Benedict (Joseph Ratzinger) is not a pope now at allThen why the title, "Pope Emeritus?"
let me, in all charity and a spirit of Christian good will, advise you to knock it off.
Thanks. I needed that and will comply.

"Then why the title, "Pope Emeritus?" That's why he didn't want the title "Pope Emeritus." This puzzling title is unprecedented historically, and thus not defined.
I am touched in my heart, and will henceforth call him Father Benedict. Or even Father Ratzinger. That's who he is.
It dismays me so deeply me that some little clerical bureaucRAT got it all twisty-tailed around at a point when Benedict was so weak he couldn't nail down all the details.
It's maddening.
