Italian Bishops Throw More Dirt at Ratzinger and Sarah

The article is written by a certain Fulvio De Giorgi. Playing up to the authority, he praises Ratzinger's part of the book but stresses that it "obviously" is not part of the Magisterium except when Benedict quotes a text, he wrote when still in office – as if truth would depend on such arguments.
De Giorgi dismisses Benedict's argument that priestly celibacy is an “ontological abstinence,” with the allegation that Benedikt doesn't mean what he wrote.
Then, De Giorgi slams Cardinal Sarah for saying that "Pope Benedict XVI” shows that priestly celibacy is ontologically required, and that “never has a Pope expressed with such force the need for priestly celibacy."
“But Joseph Ratzinger is no longer Pope,” De Giorgi protests, albeit this has no impact whatsoever on the truth.
De Giorgi’s Fuehrer “truth” fits a Communist Party. In the Church it's useless.
