“We don’t have two Popes, there is only one Pope, Francis,” Cardinal Gerhard Müller told Corriere.it (January 14).
According to Müller, Benedict’s chosen title “Pope emeritus” is a form of courtesy, “In reality, Benedict XVI is a bishop emeritus.”
Talking to IlGiornale.it, Müller underlined that Benedict and Francis are not opposed to each-other. For him it is “absolutely clear” that all cardinals, bishop and Catholics are on the side of Francis.
