It's Not Francis! Ratzinger is still Pope...
By: Antonio Socci
(New Book coming out in October)
"Papa(Benedict XVI) was and remains Pope, although emeritus. He kept also the emblem with the crossed keys that some zealous cardinal expert in heraldry had tried to update, removing any reference to the Petrine ministry. But then what value does the waiver announced by Joseph Ratzinger, seated on the throne red in the Clementine Hall, on February 11 of a year ago, to the surprise of the cardinals present, some of which - not accustomed to Latin - had not realized the extent of what was happening, "unique case in the two thousand years of church history"? In asking this question is the Catholic writer Antonio Socci, in "It's not Francis", full-bodied upcoming book by Mondadori in early October and powerful manifesto antibergogliano written...
"...he (Benedict XVI) would give only the active exercise of the ministry(to Francis), while the Petrine "is forever." And if one thing is for ever, can not be as a whole revoked.
" The Apostolic Constitution, after all, requires that no one but the Pope can change the rules of the Conclave. That require up to four votes daily, and not the five as it happened. Therefore annulling the election."
