Don't care... he wasn't perfect, even Peter denied Jesus, but came back to his senses @alexj... Benedict tried to push latin again, tried to make things right and for many it was too late, but hey, most of you can weep and weep the vatican 2 horror show or do the right thing, work your salvation with fear and tremble, pray for this freemason to be signal out by what's left of the Church and pray for the salvation of souls including Benedict and Francis.

Benedict is still pope and it is my pope even if he doesn't want the job, no vicar of Christ can't rejet the cup of suffering, no coming down from the cross.

I understand the rationale behind the T-shirt slogan however, it seems to me that pope francis [lower casing intentional] is only the "evolution" of Vatican 2. All the Popes, from John XX111 down to our current poor excuse for a pope, have in their turn, intentionally, or otherwise, undermined the faith . All five - I have omitted Pope John Paul 1 for obvious reasons - are, by degree , accountable for the sorry mess of a church we find ourselves in today. We should not forget/minimise that Pope Benedict was a leading advisor to the German Bishops attending the proceedings of V2. [ no pun intended ] To those who sing Benedicts praises, this writer to acknowledges his deeds relating to the Churches Traditions - foremost his championing of the wider use of the Tridentine Mass - but he sorrowfully "missed the boat" when attempting to urge fellow theologians, Bishops, and laity to interpret V2 documents from a traditional standpoint. Leaving that aside, a question often 'pops' into my mind, namely ,"Why is all modern day dissent and turmoil, including two world wars, traceable back to the Germanic people? Just musing.
