Here we go again with the propaganda machine depicting Benedict-Ratzinger as the savior of orthodoxy riding in on his horse to save the church from Francis. Give me a break! I see them as two peas in a pod.

Why don't we "get over it" and quit talking about what is, what was and whatever shall be and instead direct our efforts as to what we as individuals must do.
I therefore enjoy the "lettuce" interpretation and dream that perhaps there is a parallel universe in which all popes are elected unanimously and follow such a pope without a single dissenter forever after.

@Dr Stuart Reiss: "Amoris Lettuce"

I was overjoyed when Cardinal Ratzinger was elected pope. He promulgated two superb documents: Summorum Pontificum and Anglicanorum Coetibus will be consequential for many years. Because he was not really an adminstrator, he needed an effective Sec of State, which Cardinal Bertone was not.
BXVI wanted regularization of the SSPX, but it was sabotaged by his own man, Cardinal Mueller. Mueller tried it again with Francis, who told him no.
