Why did her retire? John Paul II was a withered man but he stayed until the end. The few times I’ve seen photos of Benedict since he retired he seemed quite robust so I’m not buying the “health reasons” line. Forced out over threats of scandals?
I suspect that Benedict was overthrown in a coup and that he did not retire. The gay mob that runs the RCC saw this good man as a threat to their power and they ousted him in favor of a secular socialist who’s probably a closet homo.
