Benedict "Echoes the Apostles" - Francis "Parrots Walter Kasper"
Matthew Schmitz, the literary editor of the prestigious "First Things" writes that Francis is trying to bury Benedict while he is still living, "Upon his election in 2013, Francis began to pursue an agenda that Joseph Ratzinger had opposed throughout his career" Schmitz said, concluding, "When Benedict’s enraptured words are compared to the platitudes of his successor, it is hard not to notice a difference: One pope echoes the apostles, and the other parrots Walter Kasper," and, "Regardless of who dies first, Benedict will outlive Francis."
